People displaced by heavy rainfall and landslide risks in Rangamati, Bangladesh, are anticipated to return to their homes within the next two to three days. However, the government acknowledges that rehabilitation efforts will present its most significant challenge.

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Anindya Islam Amit stated that the current government, elected by the people, feels a moral obligation to support citizens during crises. He believes the disaster can be overcome through the combined efforts of the administration and public representatives. The minister made these remarks while meeting with officials from various government departments at the Rangamati deputy commissioner's office.

“

The current government was elected by the people. It is our moral obligation to stand by them and work for them during any crisis.

Amit further elaborated that the government's responsibilities include repairing damaged homes, restoring the road transport network, and assisting those who suffered economic losses to resume their normal lives. Earlier, he visited the Tabalchhari Omdamia Hill Municipal Junior High School, a shelter center, to interact with the displaced residents.

These statements come as the Bangladesh Meteorological Department issued a warning about an increased risk of landslides in Rangamati, following three consecutive days of rainfall. In response, the district administration has initiated an evacuation drive in vulnerable areas. Loudspeakers are being used to urge residents in high-risk foothill areas to relocate to designated shelters. The meeting was presided over by Deputy Commissioner Nazma Ashrafi and attended by local lawmakers, senior police officers, and officials from various government departments.
