He said BGB members are assisting in evacuating affected residents, providing safe shelter, distributing relief supplies, offering emergency medical care, restoring damaged transport links and protecting vulnerable infrastructure.
According to the statement, BGB is conducting round-the-clock flood monitoring at 90 locations across the affected districts to ensure rapid rescue and humanitarian assistance whenever needed.
