A relentless spell of early morning rain, fuelled by a low-pressure system extending from West Bengal to the North Bay through south-western Bangladesh, plunged the capital into disarray on Thursday.
The rain, which began in the morning, continued for nearly two hours, significantly hampering the morning commute and daily activities in one of the country’s busiest cities.
Many office-goers were seen stranded on waterlogged streets, waiting for transport amid the downpour.
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), 20 mm of rainfall was recorded in Dhaka in the morning.
