The Bangladesh Army has been deployed in Chattogram to assist the civil administration in managing sudden floods caused by continuous heavy rainfall and hill torrents. According to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement issued on Friday night, members of the 10th and 24th Infantry Divisions are conducting search, rescue, and relief operations in flood-affected areas under the 'In Aid to Civil Power' framework.

Earlier on Friday evening, local officials had stated that reports of army deployment in Satkania were inaccurate, mentioning only the provision of speedboats for rescue efforts. However, the ISPR later confirmed the formal deployment across several upazilas following an urgent request from the Chattogram district administration. The floods have severely affected Lohagara, Satkania, Chandanaish, and Banshkhali, leaving around four lakh people stranded.

The 24th Infantry Division has also been deployed in Boalkhali, Hathazari, and Fatikchhari, where flood conditions have worsened. Temporary camps have been set up to coordinate relief operations, and the army will continue rescue and aid activities until the situation stabilizes.
