As a result, there is a possibility of another natural disaster in Bengal. Several areas of North Bengal may be flooded due to rising water level. Heavy to very heavy rains are expected in Jalpaiguri, Kochbihar and Alipurduar in the north on Monday. It is also reported that the rain may increase again from Tuesday.
