Coastal areas of Chandpur district were flooded following low pressure over the Bay.
The water level surged by nearly three feet during high tide, entering roads, homes and ponds and causing widespread panic among residents, including fears of snake bites.
Officials at the Water Development Board in Chandpur said the Meghna River was flowing above the danger mark of 4 centimetre during the tide.
The water level of the Meghna has increased around 3:30PM on Friday, submerging around 30 low-lying char areas in Chandpur Sadar and Haimchar upazilas.
