Waterlogging Paralyzes Jamalpur City; Protests Erupt Over Administrative Negligence

Heavy rainfall in Jamalpur has caused severe, 10-12 day persistent waterlogging affecting 10,000 people across 10 villages, paralyzing city life. Local residents in Shekher Vita and other areas staged protests by blocking roads and railways, delaying a Dewanganj-to-Dhaka commuter train. Public anger is high as several municipal officials are currently on a trip to Cox's Bazar during the crisis.
