Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) has warned that the water level of Jamuna River may rise again before Eid-ul-Azha.
AKM Rafikul Islam, BWDB sub-divisional engineer in Sirajganj, on Saturday said the water level of Jamuna is likely to decrease in the coming days, but there is a chance it will rise again for a third time before Eid.
The water level of the river fell by 5cm in the last 24 hours and was flowing 96cm above danger level at Sirajganj Sadar and 103cm above danger level in Kazipur upazila.
On Friday, Sirajganj-2 Member of Parliament Prof Habibe Millat Molla distributed 20 tons of rice as relief among 2,000 people of Saidabad, Kaliyahoripur, Khokshabari, and Kowakhola unions under Sirajganj Sadar upazila.
