Heavy and continuous rainfall accompanied by hill torrents has flooded low-lying areas of Raozan in Chattogram, submerging homes, shops, and roads including the Chattogram–Kaptai highway. Water levels in the Halda and Karnaphuli rivers have risen, and canals have breached in several unions and the municipality, leaving more than fifty thousand people waterlogged. The worst-affected areas include wards 4 and 5 of Raozan municipality, along with Chikdair, Dabua, Kadolpur, Pahartali, and Urkirchar unions.
Residents reported that floodwaters entered homes and markets, disrupting daily life and forcing people to cookless nights. Students have struggled to reach schools and colleges amid ongoing exams. Roads have broken in several places, fish ponds have overflowed, and seedbeds have been destroyed. Local volunteers are distributing dry food and essentials to affected families.
Raozan Upazila Executive Officer S M Rahatul Islam confirmed canal breaches and said contractors were instructed to repair embankments. Residents in risky areas have been advised to move to nearby shelters as rainfall continues and authorities monitor the situation.
