Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has instructed Cumilla City Corporation Administrator Yusuf Molla Tipu to take immediate measures to resolve waterlogging in the city. The directive came after 126 millimeters of rainfall on Tuesday submerged major roads and several educational institutions, forcing SSC examinees at Cumilla Ishwar Pathsala School to sit for exams in knee-deep water. The administrator confirmed receiving the Prime Minister’s phone call on Wednesday afternoon.
Yusuf Molla Tipu stated that the Prime Minister expressed concern over the situation and emphasized the need for rapid drainage. He reported that overnight operations had been conducted to remove stagnant water and that the city was now free of flooding. The administrator also mentioned identifying and clearing areas prone to water accumulation.
He further criticized irregularities over the past 16 years of city administration, alleging misuse of development funds and neglect in cleaning the Gungarjuri canal, which is crucial for drainage in Cumilla.
