Advance preparation
Advance preparation crucial to address flood threat
After a prolonged heatwave, continuous rainfall has brought relief to urban life, but it has also raised the risk of flooding in river and haor regions. This year's heavy rains have made Rabindranath Tagore's song "Abar eshechhe Ashar akash chheye" (Again, the sky is covered in Ashar) especially poignant. Every year, due to the impact of the monsoon climate, floods occur in the country during such times and situations. In the Bengal delta, situated at the foothills of the Himalayas with thousands of rivers, this is an inevitable natural process. Particularly, the heavy rainfall in Meghalaya and Assam in northeastern India flows through the river channels, causing floods here. Sylhet and Sunamganj districts are the most affected.
