Heavy flood likely in July

Massive floods are likely to affect the country at the end of July as heavy downpours already have submerged low-lying areas in many parts of northern and northeastern regions due to influence of early monsoon, reports BSS.
Md Arifizamman Bhuyan, an official of Flood Forecasting and warning Centre (FFWC) told the news agency. Now most parts of the country, particularly Cox's Bazar, Khagrachhari, Barisal, Chittagong, Teknaf are now experiencing incessant downpour due to influence of depression in the Indian State of Orissa, he said adding, "Some areas of Khagrachhari and Chittagong are affected by moderate floods in the past few days and we are forecasting flood situation will start to improve with disappearance of depression in Orissa."
