Bangladesh’s flood situation may deteriorate in the next two days as some of the major rivers, including Ganges-Padma, are in a rising trend, according to a bulletin of the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC).
The 24-hour bulletin said the Ganges-Padma rivers are in a rising trend, which may continue in the next 48 hours while all the major rivers in the northeastern region of the country, except Manu and Kowhai, will also rise. The trend may continue for the next 24 hours.
What is more, in the next 24 hours, the Teesta river at Dalia Point may flow close to its danger level, it said.
However, the Brahmaputra-Jamuna rivers are in a steady state, which may continue in the next 48 hours, it stated.
According to the Bangladesh and India Meteorological Department, there is a chance of medium to heavy rainfall in the upstream part of the Teesta (Sikkim, Gangtok) in the next 48-72 hours.
As a result, the water level of the Teesta, Dharla & Dudhkumar rivers basin may rise rapidly during this period, it added.
