Heavy rainfall led to waterlogging on the runway of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, West Bengal, on Saturday, August 3. Videos on social media show aircraft parked on flooded ramps and passengers being transported to their planes. The region, including Howrah, Salt Lake, and Barrackpore, experienced continuous rain due to a low-pressure area turning into a deep depression. Despite the waterlogging, airport authorities assured that flight operations are proceeding normally. All runways and taxiways are operational, though some parking stands are affected, with additional pumps deployed to manage the situation.
