Thousands of people in low-lying areas under the Hatibandha upazila of Lalmonirhat, adjacent to Teesta Barrage, have left their homesteads this (August 1, 2022) evening as the Teesta River water has been flowing 25cm above the danger level due to the onrush of water from upstream.
The Teesta River, originating in the Himalayas, travels a long way through the mountains and plain land before reaching Bangladesh.
