Massive river erosion
The water levels of different rivers are increasing due to heavy rain and the rush of water from upstream. Rising water has inundated many low-lying areas and is causing massive erosion all over the country. River erosion has taken a turn for the worse. Vast areas of paddy, jute and vegetable fields in the shoals have gone under water. The erosion is threatening many structures and establishments including schools, colleges, madrasas and bazaars. Many people of the affected areas have moved to safer places like roads, higher lands, and embankments and educational institution buildings. The authorities concerned have to provide funds to implement projects to stop erosion, otherwise the situation will go out of control.
