At least 108 people died in recent flood across the country this year, which was the result of heavy seasonal rains and onrush of water from upstream, said National Disaster Response Coordination Centre (NDRCC).
According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) about 114 persons were killed in recent floods in the country this year.
The flood caused huge damage to habitation, crops, roads and highways in the flood hit area, said a senior official of NDRCC,
wishing not to be named, on Sunday.
Most of the victims were drowned, while many died in boat capsizes, the officials added.
In the first week of the last month, at least six million people were affected by the flood while thousands of families were forced to flee home, NDRCC officials also said.
Flood situation is now improving in most of the districts with water levels in many rivers receding.
