The Bangladesh government reopened three airports 21 hours after they were shut down due to Cyclone Sitrang, according to bdnews24.com.
The regulatory body decided to resume operations at Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and Barishal airports on Tuesday, said Mohammad Sohel Kamruzzaman, public relations officer at the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh.
The cyclone cut its path through the Chattogram-Barishal coast near the southern district of Bhola around 9 pm on Monday, whipping up gale-force winds and heavy rains.
But the storm's intensity began waning around 10 pm, prompting people to start returning home from the shelters. The death toll from the cyclone climbed to 15.
