Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reached Sylhet to extend her support to millions of people marooned in Bangladesh's flood-ravaged northeast.

Hasina left Dhaka by helicopter on Tuesday morning to observe the flooding in Netrokona, Sunamganj and Sylhet districts, reports bdnews24.com.

She landed at Osmani International Airport in Sylhet shortly before 10:00 am after inspecting the flood-hit areas from the sky, said Sylhet Additional Divisional Commissioner Debjit Singha.

"She will be in Sylhet and will take part in scheduled programmes until 1:00 pm.”

Sylhet Divisional Commissioner Muhammad Mosharrof Hossain said, “The honourable prime minister will visit the circuit house after arriving at the airport. Afterwards, she will provide necessary instructions to political leaders and the local administration to deal with the floods.”
