Major river systems keep rising
The Brahmaputra-Jamuna river system on Sunday kept swelling upstream, said the flood forecasting and warning centre. The swelling is likely to continue for the next 72 hours. The Ganges-Padma river system was also swelling on Sunday at a slow place, inundating more areas, the warning centre said. The centre said flooding in Munshiganj, Manikganj, Faridpur, Madaripur, Shariatpur, and at Dohar and Nawabganj in Dhaka would worsen slowly in a couple of days.
