In Kurigram, around 300,000 people have remained marooned for the past three weeks, and their situation will not improve soon as all the rivers in the district continue to flow above the danger mark.
Ariful Islam, executive engineer of Water Development Board (WDB) in Kurigram, said: "If the water level continues to flow above the danger mark as forecasted, the flood situation may continue even after Eid-ul-Azha.
Until Wednesday morning, flood started in fresh areas of the Dharla and Brahmaputra basin in Kurigram, while the flood also began in fresh parts of Rajarhat and Ulipur upazilas of the Teesta basin.

"Around 400,000 families in the district will receive 4,285 tons of rice under the Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) program before this Eid in the district," added the DC.
In Jamalpur, farmers are not able to feed their cattles properly due to extreme fodder crisis in the inundated regions engulfed by floodwaters that has left around 1,000,000 people of seven upazilas marooned.
People who took refuge on the embankments and higher places said they had hoped of earning a little bit from the Eid cattle market. But now they have to sustain losses as their animals have become lean out of starvation, said Khalek Mondal, Gofur Miya and Barek Sheikh of Bosheirgor village in Islampur upazila, who kept their cattles on a bridge.
Md Karim Sheikh, a milkman from Jamirer Char village said he cannot take his cow, which has been suffering from skin disease, to a veterinary doctor, due to the flood situation.

Islampur Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Mizanur Rahman on Tuesday said 75kg fodder had been distributed to 973 people in three unions.
According to the district livestock office, Jamalpur has around 400,000 cows, goats, buffalos and sheeps. The people affected by the flood hoped that adequate relief would be allocated for their animals as well as for jobless marooned people in the district.
