Kolkata: A low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal is likely to turn into a deep depression, bringing extremely heavy rainfall in the southern parts of West Bengal over the weekend, prompting the local administration to initiate round-the-clock monitoring measures.
As the weather system moved closer to the West Bengal-Odisha coast, the India Meteorological Department issued a red warning -- the highest level of colour-coded warning -- for South 24 Parganas and Purba Medinipur district.
