Flood conditions have deteriorated across Bangladesh’s northeastern and northern regions after India opened all gates of the Gajoldoba Barrage, releasing upstream water amid continuous heavy rainfall. The Teesta River crossed the danger level at Dalia Point in Nilphamari on Tuesday afternoon, prompting the Water Development Board to open all 44 gates of the Teesta Barrage to control water flow. Low-lying areas in Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Kurigram, and Gaibandha have been inundated, leaving thousands of families marooned.
According to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre, most major rivers are flowing below danger levels, but the Teesta, Surma, Kushiyara, and Someshwari rivers are at or near warning marks at several stations. Officials warned that heavy rainfall and upstream inflow may continue for the next two to three days, potentially worsening the flood situation in northern districts. Local residents expressed frustration over India’s release of water, urging action to prevent further inflow.
Authorities are monitoring embankments and roads in vulnerable areas while urging residents to remain alert as water levels continue to rise.
