The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations scheduled for Tuesday in Fulgazi and Parshuram upazilas of Feni district have been postponed due to heavy rains and flooding. Feni Deputy Commissioner Musammat Shahina Akter confirmed the postponement on Tuesday morning.
Flooding in low-lying areas of Fulgazi and Parshuram occurred after the Muhuri River embankment breached due to heavy rains and upstream water from India. The second Bangla paper exam was scheduled for Tuesday, with four centers in Fulgazi and two in Parshuram affected.
Deputy Commissioner Akter stated that the postponement was necessary considering the students’ difficulties. Relevant authorities, including the General Education Board, Madrasa Education Board, and Vocational Board, were notified through official letters.
Heavy rains and upstream waters have caused the Muhuri River to flow 130cm above the danger level, inundating several villages in Fulgazi and Parshuram. Water has started entering localities, further necessitating the postponement of exams.
