Weather conditions are expected to remain more severe across North Bengal. The IMD has issued a Red Alert for Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar districts due to the possibility of extremely heavy rainfall.
Heavy to very heavy rain is also likely in parts of Kalimpong and Cooch Behar. Authorities have warned that the next 24 hours could remain highly unfavourable across the region, with persistent rain increasing the risk of flooding, landslides in the hills and travel disruptions.
