Sylhet Correspondent :
As many as 360 bags of rice meant for relief for the haor people capsized in the Surma river as a nor’easter lashed Sadar upazila in Sunamganj early Tuesday.
The boat loaded with the sacks of rice was anchored in the river near a food godown in Mollikpur area.
The government had allocated these rice bags as relief for the flood-affected people of Rangarchar union in the upazila.
Early flashfloods recently submerged Boro crops on over two lakh hectares of land, and caused subsequent loss of livelihood, fish and livestock in the Sunamganj haor areas.
