Though waters recede, some eastern parts of Dhaka are still reeling under floods. Experts said it would take about 8 to 10 days for complete recession. To pump out the filthy stagnant water from the low-lying submerged areas the Water and Sewerage Authority (Wasa) has installed 104 pumps in the city with 44 near the Rampura Bridge in Khilgaon are pumping out water from the affected eastern parts.
