"So far, we have received information of four deaths due to electrocution in different places in the city," Kolkata Mayor and state Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim told PTI.
But the canals and rivers are full of water and every time water is drained out, more is getting inside the city.
Train and Metro Railway services were badly hit.
Garia Kamdahari recorded 332 mm of rainfall in just a few hours, followed by Jodhpur Park (285 mm), Kalighat (280 mm), Topsia (275 mm), and Ballygunge (264 mm).
Thantania in north Kolkata received 195 mm.
