In Gaibandha, the Karotoa, Brahmaputra, Jamuna and Ghaghot rivers have continued to remain above the danger level. The Karotoa River protection dyke collapsed Tuesday night submerging roads and even more land than before. According to Gaibandha Department of Agricultural Extension, 13,050 hectares of cropland have been inundated, including around 400 hectares of vegetable crops so far. In Naogaon, the overall flood situation has worsened with 14 unions currently under water in Raninagar, Atrai, and Manda upazila. Meanwhile, although some flood victims say that sufficient relief materials aren’t being distributed across the district, the Naogaon Deputy Commissioner Harun-Or-Rashid claims otherwise.
