The flood situation in northeastern Bangladesh has shown further improvement as water levels in major rivers continue to fall. According to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre of the Water Development Board, the region experienced no significant rainfall in the past 24 hours, leading to expectations of continued improvement. On Sunday, the Nalojur River in Sunamganj remained stable at 50 centimeters above the pre-monsoon danger level, while the Someshwari, Bhugai-Kangsha, and Mogra rivers in Netrokona saw slight decreases in water levels. However, the Sutang River in Habiganj rose by 7 centimeters at the Sutang rail bridge point.

The agency reported that river levels across the haor region of Sunamganj are slowly decreasing at a rate of 0 to 1 centimeter per hour. No notable rainfall was recorded in the upstream or internal haor basin areas of the northeast during the last 24 hours. Additionally, India’s special bulletin indicated that Cherrapunji in Meghalaya did not record significant rainfall.

As a result, water levels in rivers across three northeastern districts are expected to continue falling, further improving the flood situation in the haor basin.
