Continuous rainfall has once again brought Jamalpur city to a standstill, with two-thirds of the area submerged under knee- to waist-deep water. Roads, markets, schools, and residential zones have been inundated, severely disrupting daily life and business activities. Residents report that transport has nearly halted, with rickshaws and auto-rickshaws operating on a limited scale. Despite recurring monsoon flooding, no lasting solution has been implemented.
Local residents blame the crisis on years of canal encroachment, unplanned urbanization, and a failing drainage system. Many canals have been filled or built over, blocking natural water flow. Drainage projects worth millions have failed to deliver results, as many drains are undersized, disconnected, or clogged with waste. Environmental activists and engineers argue that restoring canals, improving drainage design, and adopting coordinated urban planning are essential for a permanent fix.
Municipal officials said multiple teams are working to remove stagnant water and that long-term planning is underway to prevent future flooding.
