A one-and-a-half-year-old boy drowned in floodwater accumulated in the yard of his home in Pekua upazila of Cox’s Bazar on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. in the Bholirpara area of Sadar Union. The deceased, Mushfiqur Rahim, was the son of expatriate Nasir. Family members were having dinner when the child accidentally fell into the waterlogged yard. After noticing his absence, relatives searched and found him floating in the water. He was taken to Pekua Upazila Health Complex, where doctors declared him dead.
Pekua Upazila Nirbahi Officer Rafiqul Islam confirmed the death and said that although the flood situation in the upazila had slightly improved, several areas remained waterlogged. He urged parents to keep constant watch over their children during the ongoing flood conditions.
The incident highlights the continuing risks faced by families in partially flooded areas of Cox’s Bazar, where stagnant water remains a hazard even as conditions begin to improve.
