Bangladesh is facing renewed flood concerns as weather forecasts warn of heavy rainfall across several districts, raising fears for the country’s crucial Boro rice harvest.
Agriculture officials say low-lying haor areas remain highly vulnerable, especially in the northeast, where sudden upstream rainfall can trigger flash floods.
Farmers are rushing to harvest crops early to avoid major losses.
The Boro season is critical for Bangladesh’s annual rice production, and any major weather disruption could impact food supply and market prices.
Disaster management officials have urged local administrations to stay prepared and monitor water levels closely.
Agricultural experts say the next 48 hours will be crucial.
