Lt. General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, Home and Agriculture Adviser to the interim government, emphasized that while the flood’s impact is severe, unity among people can resolve all issues.
“Despite the terrible intensity of the flood, all problems can be overcome if we stay united,” he said. “There will be no shortage of relief supplies or medicine. However, reaching some areas is challenging, which may delay assistance. This issue will not last long if we work together. The administration can reach everyone with the support of the people.”
