Severe Floods in Bangladesh Strand Millions, Kill Two, Spark Tensions with India
Aug 22, 2024, 09:29 AM
Severe flooding in southeast Bangladesh, caused by relentless monsoon rains, has stranded nearly three million people, including 1.5 million in critical areas, and resulted in two fatalities. The floods have submerged vast areas, damaging homes and infrastructure. The situation has led to tensions between Bangladesh and India, with Bangladeshi protesters accusing India of causing the floods in eight districts. In response, Bangladesh's Chief Adviser, Prof. Mohammad Yunus, has summoned Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma for a meeting scheduled at 4:30 p.m. Bangladesh time. Additionally, Bangladeshi hackers defaced India's Zee Media website for mocking the floods. The floods add to the challenges faced by the new Bangladeshi government following weeks of political turmoil.
