Jamuna river has been swelling again in Sirajganj.

Due to excessive rain in the upstream of the river and India the flow of water has increased in the upstream causing a sudden rise in the water level, reports our Pabna correspondent.

According to Sirajganj Water Development Board, Jamuna has been flowing at 11.13m -- 367cm below the danger level -- at the Kazipur point this morning.

While, in Sirajganj hard point Jamuna has been flowing 335cm below the danger level this morning.

Sub-Divisional Engineer of Sirajganj WDB Md Nazmul Hossain said the Jamuna started swelling from Friday morning. "The water level will increase one to one-and-a-half metre each at all points of the river in the next three to four days," Nazmul said.

"Although there is no worry of flooding, the low-lying areas beside the river may get submerged," he added.
