Members of Bangladesh Army have been deployed in Chattogram and Bandarban districts to deal with the flood situation and landslides.
The deployment comes following a request from the civil administration, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Meanwhile, around 5 lakh people of the two districts have been marooned following ceaseless rainfall over the past few days.
According to Bandarban district administration, residents of Balaghata, Fajr Ali Para, Chairman Para, Police Lines area, Chaigya Mahajan Para, Horticulture area, Lalmiya Char area, Hafezghona, Armypara, Kashem Para, Stadium and Keching Para areas are the worst sufferers.
The heavy flooding also caused power supply disruptions in the low-lying areas of the town since Sunday midnight.
Besides, Bandarban to Rangamati, Chattagram and Cox's Bazar road communication was snapped as roads went under flood water at different points. As a result, access to essential services and supplies has become severely limited for the affected areas.
Shah Mozahid Uddin, deputy commissioner of Bandarban said already 265 shelter centers have been opened to assist the victims.
