As a result, 25 vehicles carrying tourists got stuck in Ruilui Valley and these vehicles will leave the area after the rains and flash floods stop.
Meanwhile, vehicular traffic resumed on Kobakhali road on Wednesday afternoon due to receding water in Mainu river of Dighinala upazila. However, the Bachaighat-Sajek road is submerged in 4-6 feet of water.
Atullal Chakma, president of Sajek Union Parishad, said that water from Prothom Alo has been submerged in 506 feet of water upstream in Bachaighat Bazar and Machlang Bazar, bringing traffic to a standstill on the Bachaighat-Sajek road.
The local people use rafts and boats for communication. No local and tourist vehicles are plying, and if there is no rain on Thursday, the water is likely to recede. He said that after that the movement of vehicles would become normal.
