We lost lives of at least 47 people, which included 10 of our brave firefighters, with almost 450 more sustaining injuries.

Bangladesh Army was swiftly mobilized under the guidance of the government to help with regard to the rescue and relief mission. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited the flood-affected areas and gave strong instruction to the government officials and her party workers to help the victims.

People of Bangladesh ultimately came out triumphant and jubilant upon connecting the two banks of the mighty Padma River. It will give us a huge boost of confidence in taking even greater efforts to thrive forward in terms of connectivity and growth.
