The people of Sunamgoag, HobigonjandNetrokona have been suffering endlessly since the flash flood. Two months have passed since the flash flood that damaged their crops, but they have nowhere to go due to the stagnant water. The relief operation undertaken through the government's social safety net program was but a meagre effort compared the needs of the affected people. Moreover, only those who are acquainted with influential people received any significant relief. The local government must pay more attention to flash flood-affected victims and distribute government relief to help them rebuild their lives.
