Save our village
Charkumaria is an old village of greater Daudkandi in Comilla district which is about 400 years old. During the British period it was a centre of attraction for travellers. But this beautiful village, habited by around 5000 people, is being ruined by river erosion. During 1964-1971 Kathalia river was about 1 km away from the village. But now our village is standing on the bank of the river.
The BWDB authorities can easily protect Charkumaria by constructing an embankment at the cost of Tk. 10 -20 lakh only. We urge them to do the needful in this regard urgently.
