Flash flood threat and agricultural damage in Sunamganj

Farmers in Sunamganj face a severe risk of flash floods due to heavy rainfall and mountain runoff. With limited Boro paddy harvested, the district administration has closed sand quarries and customs stations to address labor shortages and assist in harvesting. Additionally, Sunamganj Sadar reports crops being submerged in chest-deep water and rotting due to persistent rain. Separately, five people were killed by lightning strikes across the district on Saturday.
