Millions of people have been severely impacted by severe flooding across six districts, plunging the nation into a state of crisis. The army has launched a rescue mission to save those stranded and provide immediate relief.
Last month, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had issued a clear warning to prepare for potential floods in August, emphasizing the need for readiness. However, despite the alert, it seems the necessary precautions were not fully implemented. Some political groups are now focusing on scoring narrow gains rather than addressing the real issue—that the early warning was not adequately acted upon.
Experts stress that reliance on meteorological data and scientific planning is crucial in managing the situation effectively. In this dire time, actions grounded in science, rather than political rhetoric, are the key to protecting lives and aiding the affected communities.
