Jamaat-e-Islami has expressed deep concern over ongoing heavy rainfall and worsening flood conditions across several districts in Bangladesh, urging the government to provide immediate assistance to affected people. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the party’s Secretary General, Mia Golam Porwar, highlighted that continuous rain and hill torrents have inundated large areas of Chattogram, Cumilla, Netrakona, Moulvibazar, Sylhet, Habiganj, and Sunamganj, causing severe damage to crops, livestock, and homes. He noted that low-income residents are suffering greatly.

Porwar stated that floodwaters have entered roads and SSC examination centers, disrupting students’ ability to attend exams safely. He called on the government to ensure safe transportation and proper exam conditions. He also criticized authorities for failing to maintain flood control embankments, arguing that timely repairs could have reduced the damage.

The statement demanded urgent relief supplies, clean water, food, medical care, and shelter for affected areas, along with special incentives and rehabilitation programs for farmers. Jamaat also urged long-term maintenance of flood control infrastructure and appealed to citizens and organizations to support flood victims.
