Bangladesh is no stranger to floods. Almost every year, the country battles them during the monsoon season. However, this year unprecedented heavy rainfall has brought devastating floods, earlier than usual in the month of May. It's been almost two months and the north and northeastern regions of the country are still struggling as flood waters have washed away millions of houses and inundated hundreds of thousand hectares of farmlands. A ground report from the flood-hit Sylhet region.

Farmers in coastal areas of Bangladesh have freed the freshwater canals from encroachment to irrigate their fields and are cultivating three crops a year. Some of the farmers have adopted the floating method of vegetable cultivation in ponds for a higher produce. They no longer migrate to cities in search of work.

More than 33 million people in Pakistan have been affected by floods since June this year. Bangladesh is grappling with both floods and drought. And in India, early heatwaves, followed by early floods, and now drought-like conditions in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, have affected our main food crops – wheat and paddy. Meanwhile, wildfires are raging in Oregon (USA), and Europe is battling the worst drought in 500 years.

बाढ़ आना बांग्लादेश के लिए कोई नई बात नहीं है। लगभग हर साल मानसून के मौसम में देश का ये हिस्सा इस स्थिति से दो-चार होता नजर आता है। हालांकि इस साल औसत से ज्यादा हुई बारिश ने मई के महीने में, समय से पहले ही विनाशकारी बाढ़ से सामना करा दिया। लगभग दो महीने हो गए हैं, देश के उत्तर और उत्तरपूर्वी क्षेत्र अभी भी संघर्ष कर रहे हैं। बाढ़ के पानी ने लाखों घर बहा दिए और सैकड़ों हजार हेक्टेयर खेतों को जलमग्न कर दिया। बाढ़ प्रभावित सिलहट इलाके से ग्राउंड रिपोर्ट।

इस साल मई-जून में बांग्लादेश का पूर्वोत्तर इलाका भारी मानसूनी बारिश और अचानक बाढ़ की चपेट में आ गया था। इससे लाखों लोग प्रभावित हुए और उनमें से कई तो अभी भी बिना रोजगार के विस्थापित जीवन जीने के लिए मजबूर हैं। लोगों के सर पर कर्ज का बोझ और भुखमरी दोनों तेजी से बढ़ रहे हैं।
