The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) has reported that although river levels across Bangladesh have risen due to continuous heavy rainfall, there is no risk of major flooding in the coming days. Assistant Engineer Partha Pratim Barua said on Thursday evening that the situation remains under control, particularly as the haor region’s rice harvest has already been completed. The agency has now shifted its focus to monitoring river conditions nationwide.

According to the FFWC’s Thursday review, water levels increased at 72 of 127 monitored stations, decreased at 45, and remained unchanged at 8. Heavy to very heavy rainfall was recorded in Mymensingh, Rangpur, and Dhaka divisions, while moderate to heavy rain occurred in India’s Meghalaya and Sikkim regions. The Brahmaputra, Jamuna, Ganges, and Padma rivers are all flowing below danger levels and are expected to remain stable for the next five days.

The forecast also indicates that northeastern rivers such as Someshwari, Jadukata, Manu, Dhalai, and Khowai may see rising water levels over the next three days, but overall conditions are expected to stay manageable.
