Continuous heavy rainfall for six days has submerged large parts of Hatiya in Noakhali, leaving around fifty thousand people waterlogged. The flooding has been aggravated by illegal structures built over canals, obstructing water drainage. Many residents in Hatiya municipality and surrounding unions are trapped in their homes, with cooking stoves submerged and roads, schools, and markets under water.
Local residents and farmers reported severe hardship, with crop seedbeds and fish ponds destroyed. Business owners blamed the construction of shops and markets over the Martin Canal for blocking water flow, causing extensive waterlogging in six municipal wards. Farmers fear that if the water does not recede soon, the Aman cultivation season will be severely disrupted.
According to the Upazila Nirbahi Officer Mohammad Rasel Iqbal, discussions are underway with higher authorities to remove illegal structures from government canals. Medical teams have been formed in every union and municipality, and dry food and government relief have been distributed in affected areas.
