“We don’t foresee any development in the rainfall situation, especially in the eastern or northeastern region and in the country in the next 72 hours,” he said in a briefing on Friday.

“The [flood] situation in Feni [is so severe] that we couldn’t collect records from our office,” he said.
The meteorologist said that rainfall would start to ease after Monday.

The Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief reported that the floods have caused 13 deaths in seven districts from Tuesday to noon on Friday.
