Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed the authorities to make the preparations to deal with another possible wave of prolonged flooding in Bangladesh next month.

She made the call during a virtual cabinet meeting on Monday, Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam said.

"Discussions at the meeting largely focused on the floods and rehabilitation efforts. Flood waters have been receding over the last few days. The waters of the Jamuna River near the Bangabandhu Bridge have already dropped below the danger level."

The water level and currents in the Padma River are also declining but the Indian Met Office predicts there could be more rains in the upstream, Anwarul added.
