Dhaka, May 29 -- The Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) has issued a flood alert for six districts in the northeast and eastern regions of the country following heavy rainfall.

According to a bulletin released by the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) on Thursday, low-lying areas in Feni, Sylhet, Sunamganj, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, and Netrokona are at risk of flooding.

The Muhuri River in Feni is expected to rise above the danger level within the next two days due to continuous rainfall.

Other rivers in the Chattogram Division, including the Gomti and Feni, are also likely to swell.

While the Muhuri may crest above the danger mark, the BWDB forecasts that water levels in these rivers could begin receding after a day.
