The situation on the other hand in many other areas has started to improve, as the rivers Brahmaputra and Jamuna have started to fall.

Around 2000 hectares of land of fresh areas in Faridpur inundated yesterday, including four unions of Sadar upazila, two unions of Charvadrason and one in Sadarpur, due to continuous increase of water of the Padma.
