Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will visit three flood-hit upazilas in Chattogram on 9 August, 2026 to distribute relief among affected people and hand over newly built houses to families displaced by the recent floods.

The Prime Minister's Press Secretary, AAM Saleh Shibly, confirmed the visit, which will be Tarique Rahman's first official tour of Chattogram since assuming office.

Ahead of the visit, the local administration has nearly completed the construction of houses for flood-affected families in Hathazari, Fatikchhari and Banshkhali, according to BSS correspondents in Chattogram.

A helipad is also being prepared for the Prime Minister's arrival. From there, he is expected to travel to West Banshkhali, where he will address a brief public gathering, distribute relief among flood victims and hand over the keys to 100 newly reconstructed government-supported houses to affected families.

Chattogram South BNP Convener Idris Mia said the party had already completed organisational preparations to welcome the Prime Minister, although the final programme of the visit was yet to be announced.

"We have not yet received the final programme for the visit. We have been asked to attend a meeting at the Prime Minister's Gulshan office today. However, we have already completed our organisational preparations to welcome the Prime Minister," he told BSS.

Chattogram Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Md Shorif Uddin said the district administration was also making the necessary preparations for the visit.

"We are preparing for the visit. Once the official itinerary is finalised, we will complete the remaining arrangements accordingly," he said.
