The water level of the Teesta River has risen slightly in Lalmonirhat following continuous rainfall and upstream flow from India. As of 9 a.m. on Saturday, the river at the Dalia point of the Teesta Barrage was flowing 75 centimeters below the danger level. Local residents and the Water Development Board reported that the increase began early Saturday morning due to heavy rain and mountain runoff from across the border.
The Teesta River flows through five upazilas of Lalmonirhat, and even a small rise in water level can flood riverside areas across the district. Residents expressed concern that further increases could submerge new areas. Nurul Islam, in charge of the Dalia control room, confirmed the current water level, while Executive Engineer Amitabh Chowdhury said the flow remains below the danger mark despite the rise.
Locals remain anxious as the situation could worsen if upstream water continues to rise, potentially leading to flooding in low-lying areas.
