Jumbangla Desk: After two days of heavy rain and torrential rains, the water level of the rivers is increasing again in Kurigram. 164 mm of rain has fallen in Kurigram in the last 24 hours. It has rained 321 mm in the last two days. The water in the Teesta has risen and is near the coast line.

Due to heavy rains, waterlogging has occurred in several areas of Kurigram City District Commissioner's office premises, Fire Service premises, Tapu Velakopa, Char Harikesh, Taltala and Roumaripara. Various crops, including aman and vegetables in the low-lying areas, have been submerged. Many unpaved roads in rural areas have been submerged due to heavy rains. Farmers are worried about the cultivation of Aman due to the subsidence of paddy fields in beel and low areas.

Shaher Ali, a battery operated auto rickshaw driver of Kurigram city, said that due to the two days of rain, the office of the Deputy Commissioner and the adjacent roads are submerged in water, so the transportation of passengers going to the office is being disrupted. Daily income has also decreased.

Motiyar Rahman, a farmer of Sardob village of Kurigram Sadar upazila, said that the residents of Char are afraid of new floods as the water level of Dharla is rising. Aman's field has been submerged due to the rain on it. Now there is concern about taking the crops home.
