Court sends Councilor Mahesh Sharma to 6-day police custody in extortion case
Flood situation worsens in Ghatal subdivision of Paschim Medinipur district as water levels rise in Shilabati, Jhumi, and Rupnarayan rivers. Areas already affected by flooding are once again inundated, increasing the hardships of local residents. This marks the fourth flood in Ghatal this year. Heavy rainfall caused by a low-pressure system has further deteriorated the situation. Roads, schools, state highways, and markets are submerged, bringing normal life to a standstill. Continuous rain has also submerged the Kankalitala Sati Peeth in Birbhum. A photo of a newlywed couple taking their seven wedding vows in the stagnant floodwater has gone viral.
