River levels in Kurigram district, Bangladesh are rising due to increased rainfall and upstream flows from the Himalayas. The Dharla, Teesta, Dudhkumar, and Brahmaputra rivers are all experiencing water level increases. Bangladesh Water Development Board’s Flood Forecasting and Warning Center predicts this trend will continue for the next three days. Consequently, there are concerns about potential short-term flooding in the low-lying areas of Kurigram. Meteorological data suggests these conditions may persist for the next five days, exacerbating the risk. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and preparing for potential relief efforts.
