Although Sylhet district is experiencing flashflood, the situation is likely to start improving in the next 24 to 48 hours beginning from 6:00 pm Thursday, according to a Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre press release. The flood situation in the south-central districts of Faridpur, Rajbari, Madaripur, Shariatpur, Gopalganj and Chandpur, and Dhaka would further improve as the Padma was receding. â€”BSS
