Sabroom SDM Suman Rakshit went on an on-site inspection on Thursday morning to assess the situation after the water level of the Feni River on the India-Bangladesh border increased due to continuous rains.

He was accompanied by officials from the Flood Control Department and the subdistrict administration. During the inspection, the subdistrict administrator monitored the water level of the Feni River from the India-Bangladesh Maitree Bridge.
