In Bhurungamari upazila of Kurigram, the water level of the Dudhkumar River has risen sharply due to continuous heavy rainfall and upstream hill runoff. As of the latest report, the river was flowing 23 centimeters above the danger level, with a recorded height of 29.83 centimeters at the Pateshwari point on Monday noon, up from 29.58 centimeters on Sunday night. The rising water has already flooded low-lying areas and entered nearby localities, causing concern among residents.
According to the Water Development Board, river levels across Kurigram may continue to rise over the next 72 hours, potentially leading to short-term flooding. The upazila administration has prepared dry food supplies, medical teams, and rescue boats, while flood shelters have been readied. Local authorities have instructed union parishad chairmen to maintain constant communication and have begun public announcements to alert riverside communities.
Officials warned that if water levels continue to increase, riverbank erosion could begin, intensifying the threat to nearby settlements.
