A child drowned in flood water while playing on the roadside in Sherpur's Nalitabari With this, the number of people killed in the flood rose to 9. Due to lack of fresh rains, the water level of hill slopes has started receding in Mymensingh and Sherpur. On the other hand, the water is still rising due to the drip in the corner of the eye. It does not reduce the suffering of the residents.

The flood situation has improved somewhat as the flood water has started receding in Jhenaigati, Nalitabari, Srivardi upazilas. However, human suffering has increased. The upstream water flows downstream in various rivers.

More than one and a half lakh people in 5 upazilas of the district are under water. Many have left their homes and settled in shelters. However, there is an extreme shortage of food and clean water. The fish in the pond floated in the water. Agriculture office said that 52 thousand hectares of Aman paddy has been submerged.

Meanwhile, the flood situation further worsened in Netrakona. Even though the water level of Someswari river has receded, the water level of Ubdakhali river is flowing 29 cm above the danger level. Kangsh river water has also increased. It is flooding new areas. More than 150 villages of 5 upazilas including Durgapur, Kalmakanda are under water. Millions of people are stuck in the corner of their eyes. Crop fields and fish enclosures were swept away by the water.
