Army chief General SM Shafiuddin Ahmed on Sunday said the flood situation could last a little longer.
He made this remark while talking to the journalists in Sylhet after participating rescue and relief distribution programmes there.
He further said the floods have created a disastrous situation.
“We all are trying our best to overcome it. Not only the Bangladesh Army, other government organizations also trying their best”, he continued.
Gen Shafiuddin said while many are on standby, forces are being dispatched from every region to the flood-affected areas. The army is also sending food and medical supplies.
He said many people have shown interest in providing relief through us. We are trying to organise it.
The Chief of Army also said we still don't see enough indications that the floods will end in two days. It might take some time.
There will still be significant damage, even if the flood situation improves. We have several activities in the post-flood period, and we are preparing for them, the army chief described.
If we all work together, we can tackle this disaster, he added.
