Fresh areas go under water as Padma, Jamuna keep swelling
Major rivers, including the Padma and the Jamuna, continued to swell Monday, disrupting ferry services and overflowing banks in some districts, where fresh areas went under water. At least one death was reported as surging water inundated more villages and washed away parts of river banks, according to reports reaching from Manikganj and Faridpur districts. Stranded vehicles stood in long queues for hours on the both sides of the Padma river as pontoons at Paturia-Daulatdia ferry ghats sank.
