Several thousand people who have taken shelter on Khulna-Satkhira highway after losing their homestead to flood, blocked the road at five spots by putting barricades on it, besieging his caravan of vehicles on its way to Delua and Tala Dak-bungalow from 1:30pm to 30pm.

However, they withdrew the blockade following assurances made by the Minister that sufficient relief material will be sent to the area and Kabodak, Salta, Betna and Shalikha rivers will be excavated soon.Several hundred vehicles on both sides of highway remained stranded for about 2 hours due to the blockade.

The Minister along with chairman of parliamentary standing committee on relief & disaster management ministry Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, MP, and Rashed Khan Menon, MP, was going to Shaheed Ziaur Rahman College at Delua and Tala Dak-bungalow to distribute relief among several hundred people rendered homeless by flood.
