WHAT IT SHOWS: A heavy monsoon rain paralyzed the Dhaka-Narayanganj-Demra (DND) dam areas. Thousands of people living inside the DND dam areas do not see an easy way out of the water-logging that makes their life unbearable in monsoon. Many roads, fields and other open spaces in the area went under ankle to waist-deep water like the past because of the downpour, causing immense sufferings to the residents of the area.
