Cyclone Dana has caused significant disruption in West Bengal and Odisha, leaving one person dead in Bengal and severe flooding across Kolkata. Waterlogged streets halted transportation, and floodwaters entered key facilities, including SSKM Hospital and Kolkata Municipal Corporation headquarters. In Odisha, uprooted trees blocked roads, but no casualties were reported due to preemptive evacuations of 600,000 residents. The IMD forecasts continued heavy rain across Bengal through Saturday, with rainfall intensity expected to decrease by nightfall. Authorities are working to clear roadblocks and restore airport services in Odisha. Emergency measures remain active in affected districts.
