Water levels at eight river stations monitored by the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) have marked rise and 71 stations recorded fall, reports BSS.
Of the 83 monitored points, water levels at nine river stations were flowing above their respective danger marks while one river station remained steady, a bulletin issued by FFWC said on Thursday.
A report from Rangpur adds: Normalcy starts returning to flood affected areas as many displaced people already returned home following further improvement of the flood situation during the past 24 hours till 6 am on Thursday in the Brahmaputra basin.
The major rivers and tributaries were flowing below their respective danger marks at all points, except at Sariakandi, at 6am Thursday following further recession of water levels during the period, officials in the Water Development Board (WDB) said.
Official sources and local public representatives said distribution of rice and cash money allocated by the government among the flood- and erosion-hit families had been continuing in full swing in affected areas of seven northern districts.
There is no flood now in Nilphamari, Rangpur and Lalmonirhat and the situation is improving fast in Kurigram, Gaibandha, Bogra and Sirajganj districts, though complete normalcy will return in the low-lying char areas by the next couple of days.
Major rivers and tributaries continued devouring houses, land and properties along the riverbanks at places.
According to sources in the concerned district administrations, the overall flood situation was improving fast and distribution of rice and money among the flood- and erosion-affected families continued in full swing.
