Continuous heavy rainfall has severely disrupted life in the port city of Chattogram. Since Tuesday morning, water has inundated major areas including Agrabad, Chawkbazar, Bakalia, Chandgaon, Patenga, and Kuwaish. Roads have gone underwater, homes and shops have been flooded, and traffic has come to a standstill. Many residents, especially workers, struggled to reach their workplaces due to waterlogging and a shortage of public transport.
The worst-affected areas include Agrabad, Chawkbazar, Bakalia, Kazirhat, Halishahar, Chandgaon, Sunnia Madrasa Road, Akmal Ali Road, Patenga, and Kuwaish. Furniture and goods in homes and businesses have been damaged. According to the Patenga weather office, 330.8 millimeters of rainfall were recorded in the 24 hours up to 9 a.m., while the Ambagan office reported 259 millimeters during the same period. Officials expect the rain to continue for another two to three days.
Chattogram City Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain said that 30 percent of work on the Mirza Canal remains incomplete, which has contributed to waterlogging in parts of the city. He added that city authorities are working continuously to reduce flooding impacts.
