A total of 25 kiloemeter roads were damaged in the flood in seven upazilas of the hill district and in terms of financial loss the damage will be of around Taka 60/65 crore, he said.
Road communication between Bandarban and Ruma was severed due to flood triggered by heavy torrential rain and onrush water from upstream.
