Flood Forecasting & Warning Centre of the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) said there is a chance of heavy rainfall at places in northern and north-eastern Bangladesh along with Assam, Meghalaya, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal (Jalpaiguri, Sikkim) of India in next 24 hours.

Flood situation in Kurigram and Dinajpur districts of the northern region and Sylhet, Sunamganj, Netrokona, Kishoreganj & B’baria districts of the northeastern region may remain steady in the next 24 hours, it said in their latest warning.
