Narsingdi town as well as some parts of the district experienced a heavy rainfall in last four days causing serious disruption of civic life and hampering business activities, reports BSS. The incessant rain caused heavy water logging in most of the low lands in the town and other parts of the district. Standing crops and vegetables on the vast low-lying lands in the district were affected either partly or completely due to the incessant rainfall for the last four days submerging the low lying lands. Due to the incessant rainfall rise of water level and strong current of the Meghna river triggered riverbank erosion at different villages of Sadar and Raipura upazilas of the district. The villagers near the Meghna River, Alokbali, Bakhernagor and Rusalpur of Sadar upasila, Charmodua, lakshmpur, Mirjarchar, Sreenagor and Nilakha of Raipura upazila are passing their days with fear as their crop lands, houses and other properties would go to river bed any time because of the alarming scale of riverbank erosion.
