Heavy overnight rainfall and mountain runoff have severely worsened flooding in Rajasthali upazila of Rangamati. Water levels rose rapidly on Friday night, inundating low-lying areas of Gaindya and Ghilaichhari unions before residents could react. Hundreds of families are now trapped in their homes, facing acute hardship and fear as floodwaters continue to rise.
The flash floods have submerged houses and farmlands, causing extensive damage to seasonal vegetables and other crops near local canals. Farmers fear a major economic setback due to the destruction of their fields. Strong currents in the Kaptai canal have also created serious erosion risks for riverside homes, yet many residents remain in their houses despite the danger.
According to Upazila Nirbahi Officer Yusuf Hasan, authorities have been broadcasting warnings and urging people in vulnerable areas to move to shelters. However, many residents remain reluctant. The administration, in coordination with local union leaders, continues efforts to relocate families and has taken full preparedness measures to manage the situation.
