Water levels in rivers receding in north-eastern BD:FFWC
Dhaka, June 12 - The major rivers in north-eastern Bangladesh are currently receding, a trend expected to continue over 24 hours starting from 9 am on Wednesday, according to the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC).
In addition, the Brahmaputra-Jamuna and Ganges-Padma rivers are also experiencing a decline in water levels, which is likely to persist for 48 hours.
Met Office has predicted light to heavy rainfall in the northern and adjacent upstream areas of the country over the next 24 to 48 hours. This anticipated rainfall may cause the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers in the northern region to rise during the period.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions as the situation develops.-UNB
