Flash floods and rising river levels in Sunamganj sever road links and submerge low-lying areas

Heavy upstream rainfall and mountain runoff from Meghalaya have triggered flash floods in Sunamganj, causing water levels to rise rapidly in the Surma, Bouli, Jadukata, and Rokti rivers. Critical roads such as the Sunamganj-Tahirpur (Anwarpur) route are submerged, and markets and low-lying areas across Sadar, Doarabazar, Tahirpur, and Bishwambharpur upazilas are affected. Local authorities have issued alerts, and the Water Development Board warns of continued risks.
