India's Dambur hydroelectric project in Tripura has caused upstream water flooding into Bangladesh, inundating the bordering districts of Cumilla, Brahmanbaria, and Feni. The water levels in four rivers in Tripura have surged beyond their boundaries, forcing 5,600 families to seek refuge in safer areas. The flooding has reached alarming levels, with Khowai District Magistrate Chandni Chandran reporting severe flooding and Gomti District Magistrate warning that the water of Gomti River might rise further, necessitating more water release from the Dambur hydroelectric project.
