Water crisis
Shortage of fresh water has made people of Gopalgonj vulnerable. The Modhumoti river which has dried up and important canals like Panchuria, Bedgram, Khatra, Boiragi, Char Sonakur are full of water-hyacinths which threaten the livelihood of people. People of the town are very much dependent on natural water, but still the authorities could not start removing the water-hyacinths from the dead Modhumoti and the canals.
The issue needs to be addressed in right earnest.
