Exams postponed due to flood and heavy raining
The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations scheduled for Tuesday in Fulgazi and Parshuram upazilas of Feni district have been postponed due to heavy rains and flooding.
Feni Deputy Commissioner Musammat Shahina Akter confirmed the postponement on Tuesday morning.
Low-lying areas of Fulgazi and Parshuram upazilas have been flooded as the Muhuri River embankment breached due to heavy rains and an onrush of water from upstream in India.
The second Bangla paper examination was scheduled for Tuesday. HSC examinations are being held at four centres in Phulgazi and two centres in Parshuram.
The deputy commissioner said several areas of Fulgazi and Parshuram upazilas have been flooded as the Muhuri River embankment has breached.
She said that considering the students' plight, the relevant authorities were informed about the postponement of Tuesday’s examination.
We informed the three boards (General Education Board, Madrasa Education Board, and Vocational) through letters, she added.
Heavy rains and onrush of upstream waters have caused the Muhuri River to flow 130cm above danger level, flooding several villages in Fulgazi and Parshuram upazilas of the district. Water has started entering the locality.
