Throughout the disaster, an amateur radio network served as the hub of the entire chain of communication. It forwarded news between university teams in Dhaka and Feni, conveyed rescue requests from various sources to the control room, and relayed those messages to Army and volunteer rescue teams.

In the past few days, I’ve witnessed something among the people of Bangladesh that I never imagined: the deep respect for each other's beliefs. Amidst the ongoing floods, there was also Janmashtami for the Sanatani community, where many observe fasting and consume fruits. Those providing relief even considered this and distributed fruits among the Sanatanis. I also saw a post where someone was looking for a vegetarian cook to prepare meals for those who follow a vegetarian diet.
However, one thing needs to be clarified!
Despite all this, some individuals have taken advantage of the situation. The decision not to celebrate Janmashtami as usual this year came from the Sanatani community itself. Given the critical situation in the country, helping flood victims was considered far more important than celebrating Janmashtami. So, in line with that decision, donations were made to assist the flood-affected. However, ISKCON Bangladesh's director told the Indian media that no one celebrated Janmashtami out of fear!
This is where the problem lies. This person is not the director of ISKCON Bangladesh but rather the director of the Meherpur district branch. Unfortunately, after the fall of the government, there was an attack on the temple in that area, and much was destroyed in the fire. Because of this, there might be fear among the people in that particular district, which is why only five people visited the Meherpur temple. Although the person exaggerated certain aspects in his statement, such as claiming that millions of devotees usually attend, which is unfounded. However, in places like Dhaka and other locations, the festival was celebrated peacefully, and many people attended. Even Advisor Nahid Islam gave a speech at the event.
In these critical times, such statements in the media can have very negative effects. Everyone should be conscious and express the truth and the right mindset. The Indian media often exaggerates and misrepresents many things, and the main fault lies with them! We should always cross-check everything before commenting and sharing.

Feni Update:
1. The water in the city is receding rapidly. If this improvement continues, normal life is expected to return to Feni city by tomorrow morning, Insha'Allah.
2. The water is flowing out through Sonagazi and Daganbhuiyan, which will likely increase the water pressure in these two areas today.
3. The mobile network in the city has largely been restored. I hope that by this afternoon, Feni will be fully covered by the network.
4. I expect everyone will receive updates from Parshuram, Fulgazi, and Chagalnaiya starting this afternoon.
5. Due to the lack of electricity, no one in the city or surrounding areas has had active refrigerators for a long time. Therefore, there is a risk that the fish and meat stored in your refrigerators may spoil. Please try to send them to shelters as quickly as possible; otherwise, they may have to be disposed of.
6. Please ensure to include baby food, sanitary pads, primary medicines, and water purification tablets in the relief supplies.
7. Seek assistance from the army for relief distribution. Coordinated relief efforts are essential; avoid scattered individual initiatives here and there.

At TSC, Dhaka University, an incredible amount of money and relief has been donated, prompting students and volunteers from all walks of life to work around the clock to manage and pack the supplies. The As-Sunnah Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by the esteemed Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmadullah, prepared over 700 metric tons of food in just one day. Volunteers from Hindu and Buddhist communities joined the As-Sunnah Foundation team, showcasing true unity. We are all Bangladeshis.
For the past 15 years, the Awami League has attempted to create divisions between Hindus and Muslims. However, India and Hasina's efforts to incite chaos in Bangladesh have inadvertently brought us together once again.
Thank you, India 🇮🇳

#Bangladesh: India's Reckless Actions Are Worsening the Flood Crisis in Southeast Bangladesh
For the first time in generations, Bangladesh's entire southeastern region is facing its worst flooding in history affecting millions of people.
The cause? Indian authorities opened the gates of the Dumbur Reservoir in Tripura for the first time in three decades, releasing massive volumes of water into an already rain-soaked region.
Could there have been flooding without India opening the Dumbur Reservoir gates?
Perhaps yes, but on a significantly smaller scale. The sudden release of water from the dam has inundated the region to an extent it hasn't experienced in generations.
International law obliges India to notify Bangladesh of any actions that could cause significant harm downstream. Yet, India's failure to notify Bangladesh before opening the gates has caused significant distress and damage.
Unfortunately, the Dumbur Reservoir is just one of many dams India has built on the rivers that flow into Bangladesh. Of the 54 transboundary rivers shared between the two countries, India has constructed dams on at least 30 of them, with the Farakka Dam being the most infamous for its catastrophic impact on northern Bangladesh. India's unilateral construction of dams and its arbitrary control of water flows have become a constant threat to Bangladesh, causing either drought or flooding downstream. This reckless behavior has devastated millions of lives and wreaked havoc on the environment. For example, over 80% of Bangladesh's 20 million small farmers depend on water flowing through these transboundary rivers to grow rice.
Source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2003/jul/24/water.india
By inflicting such widespread damage, India is effectively breaching international law on a regular basis.
Here are some of the key obligations that India is failing to uphold:
1) Under Articles 5 and 6 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (1997), upstream and downstream countries have the right to equitably and reasonably utilize shared waters.
2) Article 7 of the 1997 Convention, along with customary international law, obliges upstream countries, like India, to prevent significant harm to downstream nations, such as Bangladesh.
3) The Espoo Convention (1991) and customary international law mandate that upstream countries notify and consult with downstream states before undertaking any activities that could significantly affect shared waters. Yet, India has consistently ignored these obligations and has never acknowledged the rights of Bangladesh and its people under international law.
Despite these hostile actions, Indian officials continue to claim that they are friendly neighbors—yet they wonder why Bangladeshis hold such deep resentment against them.
Is India truly a friendly neighbor to Bangladesh? Their actions speak louder than their words.
