The recent spells of torrential rain have triggered waterlogging in the Dhaka-Narayanganj-Demra (DND) embankment area, causing immense sufferings to thousands of people living there. Rainwater has flooded houses and kitchens in the area. People wade through knee to waist-deep water while vehicles ply the battered roads. Water-borne diseases have also spread in the area. Delpara, Jalkuri, Shonir Akhra and Doniya are the worst affected areas. Photo: Anisur Rahman
