5 | It was raining countrywide in Bangladesh last week: drizzles, downpours, and intermittent rains. | Nanorana nanerana ny firenena tao Bangladesh tamin'ny herinandro lasa: orana manify, oram-batravatra, ary orana nitsitapitapy. |
6 | But nothing like what the Bangladesh capital Dhaka faced last Tuesday-42 millimetres of rain in just one and a half hours. | Saingy tsy mbola nisy zavatra toy ilay natrehan'i Dhaka renivohitra tamin'ny Talata lasa teo-orana nahatratra 42 milimetatra tao anatin'ny ora iray sy sasany monja. |
7 | The cascading shower inundated many Dhaka streets, bringing acute suffering to city dwellers with heavy traffic jams in busy intersections. | Nahatondraka ny arabe maro tao Daka ilay firotsahan'ny orana tamin'io fotoana io, nitondra jaly henjana ho an'ireo mponina an-tanàndehibe noho ny fitohanana ben'ny fifamoivoizana teny amin'ireo sampanana be mpampiasa. |
8 | Many citizens faced immense trouble and delays with freak accidents in the water-clogged streets. | Maro tamin'ireo olona tao an-tanàna no nisedra olana goavana ary fahataràna noho ny loza tsy mahazatra nateraky ny rano nameno ny arabe. |
9 | This year Dhaka was ranked the 2nd least liveable city of the world in the annual Liveability Ranking by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). | Tamin'ity taona ity, voalahatra ho faha-2 amin'ireo tanàna tsy maha-te-honina indrindra eto an-tany i Dhaka tao anatin'ny fandaharana isan-taona navoakan'ny Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). |
10 | Dhaka's water-logging problem is chronic as the drainage system has been in shambles, with many new construction projects abounding and drainage canals blocked. | Zavatra mitarazoka ny olan'ny rano mihandrona ao Dhaka satria efa ntaolo be ny foto-drafitrasa famoahana rano, miaraka amin'ny fitobahan'ireo tetikasa fanorenana sy ny fahatsentsehan'ny fantsona fanariana rano. |
11 | Even with a short-term downpour, many of the streets go underwater quickly, and afterwards, it takes hours for the water to drain. | Na orambatravatra anaty fotoana fohy aza, marobe ny arabe no vetivety dia tondraka, ary aorian'izay, ora maro no ilaina vao ritra ny rano. |
12 | The frustration was evident on Twitter and other social media: | Nivandravandra be ny fahasorenana tao amin'ny Twitter sy ireo media sosialy hafa: |
13 | “Dhaka is such a mess today, water everywhere, i couldn't even enter *insert road name*, the drains are clogged…. http://t.co/rYlWv9PPBa | |

15 | - Moshiul Alam Sarker (@AlamMoshiul) September 1, 2015 | Sahirana ireo avy any ambanivohitra mandalo ao Dhaka noho ny rano mihandrona |
16 | Heavy rain is usual but fast lanes in Dhaka going under water is not. The signs are everywhere. | Mahazatra ny oram-baventy ao Dhaka fa tsy ny fahatondrahan'ireo arabe fandehanana malaky. |

21 | - OHIDUL HAQUE MILON (@OHIDULHAQUEMILO) September 2, 2015 | Fiara fitaterana anaty rano ao an-tanànan'i Dhaka |
22 | According to the Executive Director of Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (WASA) Taksim A Khan, 26 out of the 56 water drainage canals are operational, but not at full capacity. | Araka ny Tale Mpanatanteraky ny Sampan-draharaha misahana ny Famatsiana Rano sy ny Famoahana ny rano maloto (WASA) ao Dhaka Taksim A Khan, 26 amin'ireo 56 fantsona fanariana rano no miasa, nefa tsy tena zato isanjato koa. |
23 | However, if the authorities cannot ensure that rain waters are routed to proper places, this still means the problem cannot be resolved. | Na izany aza, raha tsy vitan'ireo manampahefana ny miantoka ny familiana ny ranon'orana ho any amin'ny toerana tokony halehany, dia mbola midika izany fa tsy afaka ny ho voavaha ny olana. |
24 | Standup comedian Naveed Mahbub found a reason to joke about the disaster. | Nahita antony iray hanaovana vazivazy momba ilay loza voajanahary i Naveed Mahbub, mpanao hatsikana. |
25 | Is Dhaka now a part of the India-Bangladesh Water Treaty talks? - Naveed Mahbub (@naveedmahbub) September 3, 2015 | Tafiditra ao anatn'ny resaka Fifanarahana momba ny rano eo amin'i India sy Bangladesh ve i Dhaka ankehitriny? |
26 | Several memes making light of the rough weather became viral and were shared widely on social media (images courtesy Anis Sarker, Moja Loss and Keu Amare Mairala): | Betsaka ny sary mahatsikaiky mitondra fahazavana momba ireo toetrandro ratsy no lasa mivezivezy be sy zaraina be ety anaty media sosialy (sary natolotr'i Anis Sarker, Moja Loss sy Keu Amare Mairala): |
27 | Gulistan to Gabtoli ferry via Dhanmondi (water transport comes to Dhaka streets) | Sambo fiampitàna avy ao Gulistan mankao Gabtoli mandalo an'i Dhanmondi (tonga eny an'arabe ao Dhaka ny fitaterana an-drano) |
28 | “I'm glad we have become only a middle income country” “Why is that?” | “Faly aho fa lasa firenena manana fidiram-bola antonony fotsiny ihany isika” “Fa nahoana?” |
29 | “The water is only midway up the body. | “Hatreo amin'ny valahana ihany ny rano. |
30 | If we were a high income country, imagine what would happen.” | Raha firenena manana fidiram-bola avo isika, alaivo sary an-tsaina izay mety hitranga.” |
31 | Lucky that I took my umbrella while going out! | Soa fa nentiko nanaraka ahy nivoaka ny eloko! |
32 | Shyamal Ghosh wrote on Facebook, urging everyone to wake up to the scale of the issue: | Shyamal Ghosh nanoratra tao amin'ny Facebook, manainga ny olona rehetra hifoha handinika ny halehiben'ny olana : |
33 | Not only in Dhaka, most of the cities in Bangladesh are facing (the) same problem with rain (&) flood but it seems like no one (is) there to talk about (it). | Tsy ao Dhaka ihany, fa ny ankamaroan'ireo tanàna ao Bangladesh dia miatrika (ilay) olana mitovy avokoa noho ny orana (&) tondradrano, saingy toa tsy misy olona any hiresaka momba (azy) io. |
34 | Where are the environment activists, where are the city planners? | Aiza ireo mpikatroka mpiaro tontolo iainana, aiza ireo mpanao drafitry ny tanàna? |
35 | Looks like nobody wants to have anything to do (with it), all are getting used to it ? | Toa sahàla amin'ny tsy misy olona te-hanan-draharaha na inona na inona (amin'io), efa manomboka zatra amin'io daholo ve ? |
36 | […] Wake up…! | […] Mifohaza…! |
37 | Hasibul Haque laid the facts out, explaining the reasons for the water-logging: | Velarin'i Hasibul Haque ny zava-misy, tamin'ny fanazavàna ireo antony miteraka ny fihandronan'ny rano : |
38 | Bangladesh is experiencing an extended monsoon this year with 40 percent more rain than annual average, and is set to be a record amount for the last 10 years. | Niaina rotsak'orana maharitra sy mihoatra 40 isanjato amin'ny sala isan-taona i Bangladesh tamin'ity taona ity, ary horaketina ho ny fatra avo indrindra tato anatin'ny folo taona farany. |
39 | While it is true that water-logging in Dhaka has a lot to do with illegal constructions on the rivers in and around Dhaka, there is no doubt that this extreme weather pattern is what climate scientists have been predicting all along-as the result of climate change caused by global warming. | Raha marina fa mifamatotra amin'ny fanorenana tsy manara-dalàna eny amin'ireo renirano ao anatiny sy manodidina an'i Dhaka ny rano mihandrona ao Dhaka, tsy isalasalàna fa izay efa novinavinain'ireo mpahay siansa momba ny toetrandro hatry ny ela ity toetrandro henjana tafahoatra ity-toy ny vokatry ny fiovan'ny toetrandro niteraka ny fiakaran'ny hafanàna erantany. |
40 | However, Saif Kamal requested to stop blaming everything on climate change: | Kanefa, niangavy i Saif Kamal mba tsy ho ny fiovàn'ny toetrandro no hanilihna ny zavatra rehetra : |
41 | Yes climate change is leading to the rain, and it floods in every city but the water doesn't hold on like this! | Eny, mitarika ho amin'ny firotsahan'ny orana ny fiovàn'ny toetrandro, ary tondraka daholo ny tanàna tsirairay, saingy tsy mitoko zihitra tahàka izao ny rano! |
42 | Yes, people clog drains with waste. [..] | Eny, ny vahoaka no manentsina ny fivoahan'ny rano amin'ny fakony. [..] |
43 | Have we built a better drainage system? | Nametraka fotodrafitrasa tsaratsara kokoa ho an'ny fanariana rano ve isika? |
44 | Have we learned to dispose the waste right? | Mba nianatra ny nametraka ny fako amin'ny tena toerany ve isika? |
45 | The rivers around are polluted by 98%. | Voaloto hatramin'ny 98 % ireo renirano manodidina antsika. |
46 | Let's not ask petty questions but demand service delivery that are priorities. | Aza mametraka fanontanina tsy mijery lavitra tahaka izany isika fa izay hanomezana ireo tolotra laharam-pahamehana no takio. |
47 | Downpour leads to severe flooding and traffic jams in most areas of the capital city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. | Ora-mikija mitondra ho amin'ny tondradrano henjana sy fitohanan'ny fifamoivoizana any amin'ny ankamaroan'ireo faritra ao Dhaka renivohitr'i Bangladesh.. |

50 | Brahmanda Pratap Barua Ripon also believed waste was to blame: | Brahmanda Pratap Barua Ripon koa mino fa ny fako no tokony ho tsiniana: |
51 | Most of the roads at downtown have gone almost under water, but whom to blame? | Saiky dibo-drano avokoa ny ankamaroan'ireo arabe ao afovoan-tanàna, nefa iza no homena tsiny ? |
52 | Is it us who never follow waste management or the greedy builders who just aim to earn money by covering all the ponds and lakes. | Isika tsy manaraka velively ny tokony ho fitantànana ny fako ve sa ireo mpanorina manao mamba noana izay miezaka fotsiny ny hahazo vola amin'ny fandrakofana ireo honahona sy farihy rehetra. |
53 | The funniest thing is most of the people blame the Government for this water jamming. | Ny tena mahatsikaiky dia ny governemanta no omen'ny vahoaka tsiny amin'ity ranobe mameno tanàna ity. |
54 | Mahfuz Rahman thought that every citizen shared part of the blame and was part of the solution: | Mahfuz Rahman nihevitra fa ifampizaran'ny olom-pirenena tsirairay ny tsiny sy ny vahaolana amin'io : |
55 | I noticed last few days my facebook timeline have so many people's photo riding boat on road or such. | Voamariko tato anatin'ny andro vitsy fa rakotra saripika misy olona mitaingina Iàkana eny an'arabe, na ny toy izany, ny fizotry ny fanehoankevitra tao amin'ny facebook-ko. |
56 | Complain & complain everywhere. | Fitarainana & fitarainana etsy sy eroa. |
57 | I will say this 20% natural and 80% man made situation. | Holazaiko fa voajanahary ny 20 % ary voatr'olombelona ny 80 % amin'io. |
58 | This situation is applicable and will happen again and again until we stop throwing trash in street, Drain, or anywhere where we shouldn't. | Azo raisina tsara io toe-javatra io ary mbola hitranga hatrany rehefa tsy isika no manatsahatra ny fanipàzana fako eny an'arabe, fantsona fanariana rano, na eny rehetra tsy tokony hanariana azy eny. |
59 | It remains to be seen how Bangladesh plans to tackle the next such downpours, which are inevitable in this geographical area. | Mbola ho hita eo izay fomba heverin'i Bangladesh hiatrehana ny ora-mikija tahàka izao amin'ny manaraka, izay tsy azo ialàna aty amin'ity faritra jeografika ity. |
60 | It might be that this will be the first job for the new mayors of Dhaka-as well as a test of their management capabilities. | Mety io no ho asa voalohany miandry ny ben'ny tanàna vaovao ao Dhaka-ho fitsapàna ny fahaizan-dry zareo mitantana. |
