It will take at least two more weeks to resume the road link with Rangamati, district officials said after estimating the damage sustained from the series of landslides.

Body of the missing army man who was buried under soil following a landslide in Manikchhari camp is found after more than a day of frantic digging.

It was just a matter of time before a tragedy of this scale befell the country's hill region. The way people felled trees, cleared forest for commercial plantation and cultivation, and built houses on hill slopes in the Chittagong region, something disastrous was bound to happen, say experts.

The government is to distribute Tk 50 lakh, 100 metric tonnes of rice and 500 bundles of corrugated tin among the landslides victims of Rangamati.

The parliament expresses deep shock at the death of over 100 people, including four army men, in hillslides in Chittagong, Rangamati and Bandarban.

Four victims of flash flood have been found dead in Chittagong today, two missing persons have been found dead in Bandarban and as many as in Rangamati. Also two more have died in fresh landslide in Cox's Bazar. So far, with the flash flood and fresh landslide, the death toll has risen to 143.

In the worst landslide since 2007, at least 130 people, including four army men, have died in the hilly areas of Chittagong, Rangamati and Bandarban following incessant downpour overnight. The death toll may rise further, officials said.
