Severe waterlogging and record rainfall across Dhaka and seven districts: road collapse at Gulshan-Shahjadpur, flooding in Chattagram/Cox's Bazar, and inundation at Dhanmondi Rabindra Sarobar

Heavy monsoon rainfall from July 11 to 14, 2026, caused record-breaking waterlogging across Dhaka city and six other districts (Chattagram, Patuakhali, Cox's Bazar, Faridpur, Pabna). Key disruptions occurred at Dhaka University campus, Dhanmondi, Nilkhet, and Nazira Bazar, with significant damage such as the Gulshan-Shahjadpur Link Road collapse and operational closure of Lake Town Restaurant near Dhanmondi lake. Local administration, including the DSCC, is implementing measures like pump operations and drain cleaning to restore normalcy.
