Landslide prone
The area consists of many hills and forests, allowing for landslides during downpours.
Heavy rain was still pounding Cox’s Bazar and nearby districts as well as offshore islands in the Bay of Bengal, officials said.
Low-lying areas have been flooded and communications disrupted, witnesses said.
Landslides hit hillside villages in south and northeastern districts almost every year during the monsoon season.
At least 130 people died in the worst landslide in the port city of Chittagong in June 2007.
In the last few years, Bangladesh, one of the world’s poorest and most densely populated countries, has seen an increase in intensity and frequency of climate-related problems.
