The road communication between Cox's Bazar and Teknaf remained suspended since Sunday morning following hill slide due to heavy rainfall caused by the low pressure developed in the Bay.

A large chunk of mud collapsed on the road in Thangkhali area around 5:00am, said Teknaf Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Rabiul Hasan.

On Saturday, maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra were advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal no three as the well-marked low over North Bay and adjoining area lies over Northeast Bay and adjoining coastal areas of the country.
