People are returning to their homes as the flood situation gradually improves in Kurigram with major rivers flowing through the districts all flowing below the danger level.

Although floodwater started to recede in some districts, the affected people are yet to see any respite from their sufferings due to lack of food and drinking water. 

BNP on Saturday alleged that people are going through a tough time for lack of food, fresh water and medicines in the country's flood-hit areas due to the government’s 'inaction'.
