A boy cries as a young girl pulls him by the arm in Bhabadah Dumurtala village of Abhaynagar upazila after he slipped on a waterlogged road. Thousands of families have been suffering for nearly three months due to waterlogging in the area. With canals clogged and no proper drainage, locals face the crisis of homes, roads and farmland remaining submerged every year, while children and the elderly fall prey to waterborne diseases. The photos were taken yesterday.
