At least 200 families have been left waterlogged in Patiya, Chattogram, after a drainage route was blocked, preventing monsoon water from receding. The flooding has affected Kazipara in Ward No. 7 of Haidgaon Union and broad areas across four or five nearby villages, according to the report published on August 19, 2026.
Residents said water from five villages previously passed through the Mongoler Tek area near a three-way road, then flowed via Mora Khal into Chandkhali Khal. They alleged that influential groups recently sealed the water route with cement. Farmland and ponds have been submerged, causing losses for cultivators and fish farmers, while prolonged standing water has disrupted movement for residents and students.
Kazipara Government Primary School management committee president Kazi Arif Ullah said excess rainwater had drained from surrounding areas but remained in Kazipara because the route was closed. He called for the attention of Patiya’s member of parliament Enamul Haque Enam and Upazila Nirbahi Officer Farhanur Rahman. Acting Haidgaon Union Parishad chairman Helal Uddin said necessary action would be taken if a written complaint is submitted.
