West Bengal is facing severe flooding in multiple districts due to heavy rains and water releases from the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) dams in Jharkhand. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has accused the DVC and the Jharkhand government of deliberately releasing water without proper notice, exacerbating the flood situation. Banerjee claims that the water releases are a 'planned strategy' to flood Bengal and has discussed the matter multiple times with Jharkhand's CM, Hemant Soren. The state government has deployed senior officials to monitor the situation, is preparing flood shelters and relief materials, and Banerjee has threatened to sever ties with the DVC if the situation does not improve. The floods have caused significant disruption, with some areas already submerged and residents being evacuated to safer locations.
