Kolkata: Heavy rains lashed the city on Monday disrupting train services and creating traffic snarls on waterlogged major arterial roads. The steady drizzle intensified in the evening as many of the areas in the south and central Kolkata went under ankle-deep to waist-high water.

Trees were also uprooted in several areas giving commuters, including people returning from offices, a tough time. Train movement was hit over both Howrah and Sealdah divisions. "Train movement is slow, but there is no cancellation. Three platforms in Sealdah are waterlogged. Water has been drained out by deploying pumps," said an Eastern Railway spokesman.
