Low-lying areas in Sherpur flooded as 3 cross-dams partially damaged
Low-lying areas in five upazilas of Sherpur went under water on Friday as eight rivers burst their banks due to incessant rain and onrush of water from hills. Official and local sources said water levels in the old Brahmaputra, Bhogai, Chellakhali, Maharashi, Someaswari, Kalagusha, Jhinai and Dashani rivers marked sharp rise, flooding low-lying areas in sadar, Jhinaigati, Sribardi, Nakla and Nalitabari upazilas.
