Heavy rains and mountainous terrains have led to flooding in Chattogram, Bandarban, Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Cox’s Bazar over several consecutive days. Even as waters start to recede, millions in the region face displacement and hardship. Many areas have lost power, with shortages of food and clean water, leaving residents in dire conditions.
Numerous government and non-governmental entities have initiated rescue and relief efforts in the affected zones. Global technology firm Xiaomi has joined the efforts to support the flood victims in the Chittagong region.
Ziauddin Chowdhury, Country Manager of Xiaomi Bangladesh, remarked, “The relentless rains and challenging terrain have left millions stranded. In these crucial times, it’s imperative for us to unite. On behalf of Xiaomi, we’re extending relief to the flood-hit zones in the Chattogram area.”
“Xiaomi Bangladesh plans to release a new smartphone this month. However, rather than hosting a grand launch, we are channelling funds to aid flood victims. Our goal is to provide wholehearted support during this crisis. Unity and dedication are essential to assist those impacted.”
In the past, Xiaomi has consistently supported the nation during various crises. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Xiaomi contributed to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund and supplied protective equipment to multiple hospitals. Moreover, during last year’s severe floods in Sylhet and Sunamganj, Xiaomi offered relief and various forms of aid to affected communities.
