Several low-lying areas in Dighinala have been flooded for the third time in one month due to rains and hills run-off.

The Bacha Merung steel bridge and the adjacent road have been inundated, making movement on the Dighinala Longadu road impossible for now. People complained about transportation difficulties due to heavy rainfall in the upstream.

People of 20 families in Kabakhali Union have been forced to take shelter at Pablakhali Government Primary School, as water has entered into their houses. The UP is providing them food.
