Sandwip isolated from mainland for six days due to low-pressure system

A low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal has caused rough seas and triggered warning signals, resulting in the total suspension of maritime transport between Sandwip and the mainland for six days. This has isolated the island upazila, leaving thousands of passengers, traders, and patients stranded. Emergency medical access is hindered, travelers have missed international flights, and essential supply chains remain stalled, causing significant humanitarian and economic hardship.
