An inter-ministerial meeting was held on Tuesday at the Cabinet Division in Dhaka to strengthen coordination in tackling the ongoing flood situation caused by heavy rainfall and hill torrents across various regions of Bangladesh. The meeting was chaired by Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who called on all ministries, departments, and agencies to work in unison to reduce public suffering and deliver timely assistance to affected communities.

Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed emphasized transparency and accountability in relief distribution, ensuring aid reaches genuine victims without corruption. Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury highlighted the need for an accurate database of flood victims to make relief operations more efficient and stressed maintaining supply chains and transport infrastructure. The meeting also decided to implement departmental action plans for post-flood rehabilitation, assess damage after water recedes, and provide food aid and new seeds to affected farmers.

Authorities resolved to repair damaged roads under LGED and restore major highways swiftly. Government sources confirmed that coordinated rescue, relief, health, and rehabilitation operations will continue until the situation normalizes.
