The flood situation in some parts of Bangladesh is likely to worsen further as all the major rivers of the country are in a rising trend, except the Padma, according to a bulletin of the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC).

Citing the numerical weather forecast of meteorological agencies, the 24-hour bulletin on Tuesday said there is a chance of medium to heavy rainfall at some places of the northern and north-eastern regions of the country along with adjoining states of Assam, Meghalaya and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal of India in the next 48 hours.

As a result, the Brahmaputra-Jamuna, the Dharla and the Ganges-Padma may continue rising in the next 48 hours, it said.

The Surma, the Kushiyara and all other major rivers in the north-eastern region of the country may continue rising in the next 24 hours and at some points may flow above their respective danger levels for a brief period due to heavy rainfall in the next 24 hours, the bulletin said.

The Teesta river may become steady in the next 24 hours, it also added.
