Continuous rainfall and hill runoff from India’s Meghalaya have caused river levels in Sunamganj to rise, though none have yet crossed the danger mark. Low-lying areas are experiencing waterlogging, and the district administration has placed all 12 upazilas on high alert, preparing 1,311 shelters to handle potential flooding. According to the Water Development Board, river levels remain below danger levels but are being closely monitored as upstream flow continues.
Field observations show parts of the Sunamganj-Tahirpur road submerged, disrupting transport and forcing residents to use boats. Water has also entered courtyards in several haor villages. The Surma River at Sunamganj point was recorded at 7.30 meters, 50 centimeters below the seasonal danger level, while rainfall reached 77 millimeters in 24 hours. The district administration has mobilized over 492 boats, more than a thousand volunteers, and 1,056 medical teams, with food and relief supplies stocked.
Officials advised residents in low-lying areas to remain cautious as water levels may fluctuate depending on weather and upstream flow. Authorities remain on standby to provide assistance if conditions worsen.
