Rain has become a fear for Sylhet. Sylhet is washed away when it rains. After six hours of heavy rain, waterlogging has again occurred in the city.
Incessant rains that started on Thursday (June 13) morning led to waterlogging in several areas of the city. The local residents suffered.
The city’s elite suburbs, Majortila, Jalalabad, Sobhanighat, Terortan and Machimpur, have accumulated rainwater in the low-lying areas of the city. Somewhere in these areas there is knee-deep water.
Meanwhile, Cherrapunji in Meghalaya state of India has received 349 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours. Because of this, the water in Sylhet’s rivers started to rise.
According to the Water Development Board (Paubo), water flowed above 11.60 meters and 9.58 meters on Wednesday evening at Kanighat and Sylhet points of Surma river, but at 12 noon on Thursday, it was flowing above 12.37 meters and 10.11 meters.
Shah Md Sajib Hossain, assistant meteorologist of the Meteorological Department of Sylhet, said that the amount of rainfall in Sylhet in the last 24 hours (from 6 am on Wednesday to 6 am on Thursday) was 4.6 millimeters.
And on Thursday from 6 am to 12 noon, 186 mm of rain fell. There are thunder clouds in the sky of Sylhet. That will take time to pass. So everyone should be careful of lightning.
