People in Kolkata go fishing on waterlogged streets

Even though the torrential rains have ceased in Kolkata, sections of the city remain flooded as a result of the city’s worst September rainfall in over a decade. While most locals are still concerned about the flooding, some have found entertainment and happiness by going fishing in the rain waterlogged streets.

A popular video shows a few New Town residents casting nets on the main thoroughfare. They really got some huge fish, including Katla, much to everyone’s amazement.

A nearby neighbour, Piu Mondol, shared the strange occurrence on Facebook, showing a man standing on the pavement scooping out a large load of fish. According to her post, she first saw fish in the flooded street on Tuesday evening, just as numerous residents were getting enthusiastic and casting their nets.
