Teesta River water 10 cm above danger level, 44 sluice gates opened

On July 13, 2026, the water level of the Teesta River at the Dalia point in Dimla, Nilphamari reached 10 cm above the danger level. This rise has caused water to enter low-lying areas in several unions of Dimla and Jaldhaka upazilas. In response, authorities have opened all 44 sluice gates of the Teesta Barrage to manage the flow.
