Several hours of heavy rain on Tuesday morning flooded sections of the Dhaka-Bogura highway in Sherpur, Bogura, leaving knee-deep to waist-deep water in Dharmakam, Hamchayapur and Kathaltala under Shahbandegi Union. Traffic on the important northern highway was severely disrupted, with long queues causing hardship for passengers, transport workers and local residents.
Water covered parts of the road so extensively that the boundary between the highway and drains was difficult to identify. Buses, trucks, microbuses, private cars, motorcycles and CNG autorickshaws moved slowly through the water, while several motorcycles and CNG vehicles broke down, worsening congestion. Roads in Sherpur municipal town and homes and rural roads in several villages were also inundated.
Residents blamed uncleaned roadside drains, rubbish blockages, filled canals and inadequate drainage planning for the recurring problem. They called for drains and canals to be cleared and for an effective modern drainage system. Upazila Nirbahi Officer Saiduzzaman Himu said the issue was being treated seriously, relevant departments had been asked to act, and steps would be taken for rapid drainage and a permanent solution.
