Heavy rain triggers evacuations in hills, cuts off roads, leaves four deadRelentless monsoon rain and upstream flash floods have triggered landslides, damaged roads, and forced thousands to evacuate across Bangladesh's three hill districts. In Rangamati alone, 246 shelters were opened as rising water from upstream deluged roads, schools, and homes. Heavy rain also battered Bandarban, where road collapses shut down traffic along major routes, including the Bandarban-Sualok-Lama bypass. At least 500 people were relocated to shelters, while roads in Dighinala, Bhuyachhari, and Nancy Bazar were severely damaged. BANDARBAN ROADS SEVEREDIn Bandarban, major roads collapsed in at least three locations in Tonkabati Union, cutting off access since Friday.
