Flood unlikely this year
Despite higher than average rainfall since the beginning of the current monsoon season, the country is likely to escape major flooding this year, meteorologists said yesterday. Weather experts at the meteorological department said they did not foresee heavy rainfalls posing a problem in the coming months. "Analysing the meteorological data, we can say that there is very little possibility for a major flooding this summer," Arjumand Habib said.
