The overnight rain on Monday led to waterlogging in parts of the city and its adjoining areas.
Stretches of VIP Road near Chinar Park, New Town and several parts of Dum Dum in northeast Kolkata, along with usual pockets in the north and central parts like Amherst Street, Thanthania, Bechu Chatterjee Street and MG Road, went under water.
Stretches of VIP Road and large parts of New Town were under knee-deep water till Monday evening, triggering massive traffic snarls on the artery that connects the airport with the rest of the city.
In parts of Kolkata, water receded only after 2pm, said civic officials.
