Kutubdia Upazila chairman ATM Nurul Bashar said that 10,000 people from 40 villages of Kutubdia were also affected by flood as rising sea-water entered through 15 points of the island.
Cox's Bazar Sadar chairman Salim Ullah Bahadur claimed that water entered Eidgaon every year because there was no dam on the both sides of Eidgaon River. The sluice gate is damaged too, he said.
