A high-profile team, comprising high officials from the government and military, has visited the cyclone-affected areas in Satkhira.
Disaster Management and Relief Ministry Additional Secretary Md Mohsin, along with high officials from the Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Navy, and Bangladesh Air Force (BAF), made the inspection boarding an Air force Mi series helicopter on Monday, said an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) press release.
Before the inspection, a team of observers led by Air Officer Commanding of BAF Base Bir Sreshtha Matiur Rahman Air Vice Marshal M Nazrul Islam inspected the affected areas by the Air Force AW 119 helicopter on the same day.
The Air Force is assisting the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief to determine the losses caused by the cyclonic storm Bulbul in the affected areas and in post-disaster management works, the press release said.
Bulbul made landfall in the coastal regions of Bangladesh on Saturday night, leaving a trail of destruction over the regions.
