Rain has become lighter in south Bengal, including Kolkata.

The weather office does not expect very heavy rain there in the next few days.

Kolkata had heavy rain for three days, which caused waterlogging in some places.

On Friday, the rain stopped for much of the day and some flooded areas began to drain.
