The Bangladesh Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (BTRC) reports that 1235 mobile towers out of 13,491 in 10 flood-affected districts remain unusable due to flooding. The Bangladesh Army has provided necessary assistance, including vessels and speedboats, to transport equipment, generators, and fuel to mobile operators and tower operators. Towers under water will not be functional until the flood situation improves. Authorities are providing charging facilities in flood-hit areas where mobile networks have been restored through generators. Moulvibazar and Sylhet districts may experience disruptions in telecommunications due to the deteriorating flood situation. Mobile operators, tower co-operators, and authorities are working to restore mobile networks.
