Low-lying areas in citys eastern part flooded
Many low-lying areas in the eastern part of the capital went under floodwater yesterday and more areas are likely to be inundated in the next couple of days as rivers around the city started flowing over danger levels from Thursday. "Low-lying Areas in Dohar and Nawabganj are already under water. More areas are likely to be inundated if the Balu, the Shitalakhya, the Turag, the Dhaleswari and the Tongi canal keep swelling," said Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) Assistant Engineer Arifuzzaman last evening.
