Thousands of people in low-lying areas under the Hatibandha upazila of Lalmonirhat, adjacent to Teesta Barrage, have left their homesteads this (August 1, 2022) evening as the Teesta River water has been flowing 25cm above the danger level due to the onrush of water from upstream.
The floods wreaking havoc in the country’s northern and north-eastern districts may worsen as water levels in already overflowing rivers could continue to rise over the next two days, according to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre.
