In a meeting chaired by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus on Thursday, the Council of Advisers discussed the recent flood and waterlogging situation in Feni and Noakhali districts due to heavy rainfall. Also included in the discussion were the need for finalising the design of the Musapur Regulator, Bamni Closure and the permanent dam construction project in Feni, as well as the importance of clearing canals and improving drainage systems in Noakhali, according to a post on the chief adviser’s official Facebook page.
Advisers from relevant ministries shared their views and outlined steps taken in response to the floods.
The council was informed that repair work on damaged embankments, riverbank protection, and water control infrastructure in both districts is currently underway with financial support from the World Bank.
There was also an in-depth discussion on the actions taken so far by the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, along with the local administrations, to address the challenges posed by the ongoing floods and waterlogging in the two districts.
