Tourist attractions in Bandarban have reopened after remaining closed for 10 days due to heavy rainfall and landslides. However, Debotakhum, one of the district's most popular tourist destinations, will remain closed until further notice.

The notice said infrastructure at the Debotakhum tourist spot in Rowangchhari upazila sustained significant damage during the recent flooding, making urgent repairs necessary to ensure visitor safety.
As a result, Debotakhum will remain closed to tourists until July 20, the notice added.
