| The Mall in Darjeeling on Wednesday. While the hill town frolicked in the snow, the plains in north Bengal received heavy rainfall.
In Malda, the agriculture department recorded 69 mm since Tuesday night. It rained throughout the day in Englishbazar and low-lying areas got waterlogged. Though the drizzle stopped finally in the evening, the sky remained overcast. Picture by Suman Tamang |
