  Over 2 lakh marooned in Noakhali

Online Desk : At least 203,100 people from 41,840 families have been marooned in six upazilas of Noakhali due to heavy rainfall, with 40 houses destroyed. A total of 1,419 people have taken shelter in 40 designated centres across the district.

The information was confirmed to News on Thursday night (July 10) by Noakhali Deputy Commissioner Khandaker Istiaq Ahmed.

He said, “To tackle the disaster, 466 shelters have been kept ready across the district. So far, 203,100 people have been affected, and 40 houses have been destroyed. Alongside the 1,419 people, 240 livestock have also been provided shelter.”

District Relief and Rehabilitation Officer Mohammad Masudur Rahman told News, “Among the affected areas, Noakhali Sadar, Kabirhat, and Senbagh upazilas have suffered the most. In Noakhali Sadar alone, 30,000 families have been affected, followed by 3,870 in Senbagh, 3,650 in Kabirhat, 3,520 in Companiganj, 500 in Subarnachar, and 300 in Hatiya.”

He added, “One house has been completely destroyed and 40 others partially damaged. A total of 1,419 people and 240 livestock have taken refuge in 40 shelters. In six upazilas across the district, at least 203,000 people from 57 unions and municipalities have been affected. Additionally, 51 medical teams have been formed, of which 29 are currently active.”

Meanwhile, waterlogging has severely disrupted daily life in low-lying areas of various upazilas due to accumulated rainwater. Key locations in the district — including the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, Fisheries Office, Jail Road, Paanch Rastar Mor, and the municipal market — have been submerged. Many areas remain underwater due to poor drainage systems, leaving both homes and roads inundated. The situation has caused significant hardship for working-class residents and vehicle drivers.

Tahsan Habib, a resident of Maijdi Housing, said, “Although it hasn`t rained much since morning, water is still standing on roads and in house yards. The suffering continues. We’re struggling to walk on damaged, submerged roads. Due to poor drainage, water is receding very slowly. That’s why the hardship persists despite a decrease in rainfall. Most roads in Maijdi and other low-lying areas remain underwater.”

Commenting on the situation, Deputy Commissioner Khandaker Istiaq Ahmed said, “Continuous rain has worsened the waterlogging problem. We are working to drain the water. Additionally, municipal cleaners have cleared pathways for water to flow. We hope the situation will improve soon.”
