Bangladesh, India defies river laws

This time floods inundate vast swath of eastern part of Bangladesh. Mostly at 10-12 districts. It has been raining continuously for several days. The reason for this is that the speed with which the monsoon winds move from south to north is often obstructed. When obstructed, the winds condenses locally. Then the water in the air starts to flow. As a result, there is a lot of rain. If it moves, it doesn’t rain anymore. We have seen that most of the rainfall happened over Tripura. This rainfall moved from Tripura to Moulvibazar, and was supposed to from Moulvibazar to Sylhet. But it stayed here instead.
