Heavy rainfall causes huge suffering to city dwellers

People in Dhaka have been struggling to cope with incessant rains in the past couple of days as waterlogging in many areas of the capital has been causing untold suffering.     

“Like past few days, Dhaka city witnessed heavy rainfall today meaning many parts of the city were submerged,” Kazi Jebunnesa, a meteorologist of the Bangladesh Meteorologist Department (BMD) told BSS.

She expected that the cloudy weather may improve from tomorrow and the intensity of rainfall may decrease.     

Multiple areas of Dhaka including -- Mouchak, Malibagh, Shantinagar, Moghbazar, Kakrail, Paltan, Dainik Bangla intersection, Khilgaon rail gate, and Rajarbagh Police Lines -- were waterlogged following prolonged torrential rain since early morning today.

Office goers suffered immensely as they were facing trouble in managing transport to reach their destination.
