Kurigram Correspondent :
Incessant rainfall overnight on Wednesday left one lakh residents of Kurigram town in immeasurable woes.
Heavy shower created water-logging in many areas of the town, already grappling with faulty drainage system.
Several government establishments, including the deputy commissioner’ s office and residence, Chief Judicial Magistrate Court and Judge Court premises, District Lawyers Association office premises, Police Line, office of the Superintendent of Police, District Food Controller’s office, Sadar Hospital Road, Fire Service Stations, clinics, Kurigram Government College, Government Women’s College, Girls’ School, Stadium, Sadar Police Headquarters, Shilpakala Academy compound and roads of Hatirpar, Roumari Para, Bhelakopa, Saodagar Para and Chamrargola areas remained under knee-deep water on Thursday.
Local people cannot go out to join their works due to the water stagnation and the residents of government quarters have taken shelter in other places.
Besides, people coming to the hospitals for treatment have to undergo immense suffering while crossing the water-logged streets.
Deputy Commissioner Nurul Amin said low-lying areas of the district town have been inundated due to the rainfall that submerged the important places like hospitals, colleges and courts.
People were seen wading through the knee-deep water.
This happened only due to improper drainage system, he said, adding necessary steps would be taken to remove such public sufferings soon.
Kurigram Municipality Mayor Abdul Jalil said a special plan has been taken to rid the town of water-logging as it is a big problem for its dwellers.
