Continuous heavy rainfall has left several parts of Siliguri underwater, making daily life difficult for many residents. The water has accumulated quickly, turning streets into large pools.
The worst-affected areas are Wards 31, 32, 39, 40, and 41 under the Siliguri Municipal Corporation. People living in these neighborhoods are facing significant hardships as water enters roads and low-lying areas.
Local residents say the problem is mainly due to a failing drainage system that cannot handle the heavy flow of rainwater. This has led to severe waterlogging across these five wards.
Key takeaway: Heavy rains have flooded five Siliguri wards due to poor drainage systems.
