The state-run media reported that some roads in the province have been blocked by the flood. To dampen the public outrage at the inaction and negligence of regime officials, the regime suspended the tenure of Sarbandar mayor Mohammad Abiyavi. On Saturday, the people in Sarbandar protested in front of the Judiciary and Municipality and demanded the resignation of incompetent city officials. On Sunday, heavy floods in the southern parts of the country continued to cause damage in Bushehr province.
