The Water Development Board (Paubi) has issued a forecast warning of sudden flooding in Sunamganj district. The notice, signed by Executive Engineer Mamun Hawlader on Friday afternoon, stated that moderate to heavy rainfall is expected on April 27, followed by heavy to very heavy rainfall from April 28 to 30. Water levels in major rivers may rise above the danger mark, creating a risk of flash floods starting April 28.

The forecast has caused concern among local farmers, particularly those cultivating crops in the haor areas. The notice warned that the impending floods could damage standing crops. Farmers have been advised to harvest paddy that has ripened at least 80 percent as soon as possible to minimize potential losses.

Authorities have not yet detailed any emergency measures, but the advisory indicates heightened vigilance in the region ahead of the predicted rainfall period.
