The waterlogging
plague of Chittagong city has returned yet again this monsoon, triggered by the
incessant rainfall over the last few weeks.
The city’s 22 wards
are particularly vulnerable to the perennial problem that is experienced by the
city dwellers every year.
The situation gets
worse in Chadgaon, Purba Shalosahor, Purba Paschim and Dakkhin Baklia, Uttar
and Dokkhin Agrabad, Gosailbhanga, Uttar Maddhom Halisahor areas during rain
and high tide.
The drainage system
of the city has been totally broken down and a telling window of mismanagement
and lack of coordination between the concerned authorities.
Most of the canals,
which snake through the city, have been filled up with garbage, sedimentation
and encroachment deterring the excess flow of water during monsoon.
Many residents are
migrating to other parts of the city to avoid the apocalypse.
