Due to continuous heavy rains and flash floods from Indian upstream, severe floods have occurred in 12 districts of the eastern part of the country including Feni, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Cumilla, Chittagong, Khagrachari, Moulvibazar and Habiganj. As India opened the Dumbur Dam of Indian state of Tripura, flooding has taken a dire form in these areas. The Indian government has created the situation to drown the people of Bangladesh by opening this dam.

All the houses, roads, educational institutions in these areas have been submerged in flood water. Half a million people are trapped in flood water. Fish enclosures, field crops, rice mills, orchards were submerged in water. Numerous cattle, poultry were swept away in the flood. In some areas, the flood water has touched the roofs of people's houses. Millions of people are living an inhumane life in such conditions.
