Everyone should come down to save the flood-affected people: Rizvi

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said that this flood is the worst in two and a half decades, and all voluntary organizations including the government should come down for rescue work to reach the flood-affected people quickly to a safe place.

He made this call at a press conference organized at the party's central office in Nayapaltan on Thursday.

Rizvi said, the land, hundreds of villages and roads in a vast area of ​​about 9 districts in the eastern part of the country have been submerged by the upstream water. Public life is disrupted, millions of people are living inhumane conditions due to waterlogging. About two lakh people have become waterlogged. Relief distribution to the flood affected districts should be intensified at this time.

He said that due to the opening of the gates of Dumbur dam on Gomti river in Dhalai district of Tripura, India, floods have occurred in the bordering districts of the eastern part of Bangladesh. Neighboring countries are jeopardizing the interests of the neighboring countries while controlling the water according to their own advantage in the water flow of the same river. Why is India indifferent to the people of Bangladesh, their safety and comfort? They never consider the life and death of people of Bangladesh. India has never taken the direction of justice on the Bangladesh issue.
