Cyclone Remal Disrupts Dhaka Commute with Heavy Rain and Gusty Winds

Heavy rain and gusty winds from Cyclone Remal have caused significant commuter chaos in Dhaka since Monday morning, particularly affecting office-goers. The adverse weather conditions have led to a scarcity of public transport, forcing many to endure long waits and rely on costly ride-sharing services. Muhaiminul Haque Siam, a private organization employee, reported arriving an hour late to work due to the disruptions. Additionally, a power issue caused a one-and-a-half-hour suspension of metro rail services, exacerbating the commuting difficulties. Despite carrying umbrellas, many commuters found themselves soaked due to the strong winds.
