The upazila administration in Sunamganj's Tahirpur has indefinitely closed all tourist sites, including Tanguar Haor and Shaheed Siraj Lake, due to worsening floods from heavy rains in Cherrapunji and Sunamganj. This closure has resulted in significant financial losses for local tourism businesses, with numerous houseboat bookings canceled. Tourists planning Eid visits are also disappointed. Despite the impact, the administration deems the decision necessary for public safety until the flood situation stabilizes.
