Cox’s Bazar- Teknaf highway communication snapped

The road communication between Cox's Bazar and Teknaf remained suspended since Sunday morning following a hill slide due to heavy rainfall caused by the low pressure developed in the Bay.

Teknaf Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Rabiul Hasan said: “A large chunk of earth collapsed on the road in Thangkhali area around 5am.”

Earlier on Saturday, maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla, and Payra had been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three as the well-marked low over North Bay and adjoining area lies over Northeast Bay and adjoining coastal areas of the country.
