Due to waterlogging and sleepless nights in the city, many have demanded to the Mayor of Sylhet City Corporation and the local members of parliament of Sylhet on the social media Facebook to dig the ditches and canals of Sylhet’s Surma river and the side of the river.
Incessant rains in the past few days and floods caused by upstream flows have flooded the lower areas of Sylhet. However, due to non-rainfall, the water in the rivers started to decrease a little from the last two days. As a result, the overall situation was slightly improving. However, due to the rain since Sunday night, new areas were flooded again.
