Continuous rainfall has caused rivers in Bangladesh’s northeastern districts to swell rapidly. On Tuesday evening, the Juri River in Moulvibazar flowed 96 centimeters above the danger level, while the Manu, Dhalai, and Kushiyara rivers were nearing critical points. According to the Moulvibazar Water Development Board, upstream rainfall is driving the rise in water levels across the region.
The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre reported heavy to very heavy rainfall over the haor basin and upstream areas during the previous 24 hours, warning that flooding could develop in low-lying areas of Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, and Netrokona within three days. Between April 25 and 28, Moulvibazar recorded 269 millimeters of rainfall. Local agricultural officials said 369 hectares of Boro rice fields in Moulvibazar have been submerged due to flash floods and rainwater.
Forecasts indicate continued heavy rainfall over the next three days, with scattered thunderstorms, hail, and nor’wester activity expected across several divisions within 36 to 48 hours.
