WHAT IT SHOWS: In the past few years, Tidal surge – water levels rising significantly above the tide levels that astronomy predicts - has begun to affect the city as much as twice a day, resulting in frequent flooding of residential and business areas. If things continue to worsen, most area of Chittagong could become completely submerged in the near future. Here we see Saraf (8) sitting on a submerged car and looks at their home flooded by the tidal surge in Chittagong
