Dhaka submerged in heavy overnight rain, extreme suffering from knee-deep water and waterlogging
Due to continuous heavy rain throughout the night, widespread waterlogging occurred in various areas of the capital on Sunday morning. Knee-deep or waist-deep water in some places disrupted normal life. Office-goers, students, and pedestrians faced extreme hardship. Traffic movement on various roads in the capital also slowed down due to the rain.

Rain that started late Saturday night continued from dawn until 7 am on Sunday. As a result, water accumulated on roads in various areas of the capital, including Azimpur, Chankharpul, New Market, Paltan, Arambagh, Fakirapul, Green Road, Tejturi Bazar, Panthapath, Manipur, Bashundhara Residential Area, Dhanmondi 27 and 32, Mohammadpur, Karwan Bazar, and Shyawrapara.
