Protests erupt in Indian city of Kolkata as authorities struggle to deal with aftermath of Cyclone Amphan that left 112 people dead
Thousands took to the streets of the Indian city of Kolkata on Saturday to protest against what they said was the slow government response to power cuts and flooding after a devastating "super cyclone".
Police said more than 5,000 people took part in different demonstrations early Saturday while witnesses said there were more. "The coronavirus made our lives miserable, Cyclone Amphan turned it into hell," Subash Biswas, principal of a state-run college in Kolkata told AFP. Kolkata's municipal chairman Firhad Hakim has warned that "it will take at five to six days to pump out the water from streets, to clear the uprooted trees and restore the water supply".
