More than a week of heavy rainfall has severely disrupted life across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, where several neighborhoods such as Mirpur, Dhanmondi, and Banani remain waterlogged. According to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, 51 people have died and 39 others were injured in landslides and flash floods in Bandarban, Cox’s Bazar, and Chattogram. Cox’s Bazar alone reported 28 deaths, while Bandarban and Chattogram recorded seven and thirteen fatalities respectively.
The ministry reported that over one million people have been affected in seven districts—Khagrachhari, Rangamati, Bandarban, Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Moulvibazar, and Habiganj. Around 267,000 families remain stranded, and 44,457 people have taken shelter in 1,131 relief centers. The Chattogram Education Board has postponed HSC and equivalent exams scheduled for July 13, 15, and 16, while several Dhaka schools have delayed midterm exams due to adverse weather.
Rail services between Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar remain suspended as tracks at Shamsherpara are still submerged. The Meteorological Department warned that heavy to very heavy rainfall may continue for the next five days, with short-term flooding likely in several northern and northeastern districts.
