Water Resources Minister Anisul Islam Mahmud claims that the haor regions in different parts of the country, especially the northwest, have been submerged due to heavy rains, not for the damage to any dam.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir comes down heavily on government officials in haor areas as they are staying abroad, leaving the flashflood affected people there.

The government allocates Taka 10 crore as emergency support for flood affected areas.

For Lulu Mia it is a disaster. First, he loses paddy of eight acres of land and now, six out of seven of his buffaloes following the flashflood in Nandail haor. Following the deaths of livestock, concerns of locals rose even higher in the hoar areas. Blood samples of six dead buffaloes taken for testing to find out cause of death.
