At least 25 people have been killed in a landslide in the hilly districts of southern Bangladesh, following a heavy downpour the day before.

Ten were killed in Rangamati, seven in Bandarban and eight in Chittagong, reports the Daily Star. Many women and children are among the dead.

Yesterday's depression in the Bay of Bengal played havoc with the weather all over the country and bringing about incessant rainfall all day long. It inundated Dhaka and Chittagong cities.
