Tangail people suffer with Jamuna erosion

Erosion caused by the Jamuna River in Tangail Sadar has devoured 35 families and cultivable land in the region.
A victim said the erosion was too intense for the locals to save their belongings.
According to locals, erosion is an annual occurrence along the Jamuna River. However, this year erosion has been particularly severe and unseasonal, exacerbating the plight of the affected communities.
The erosion-affected people, including those living along the riverbank, have demanded that the concerned authorities take necessary steps to prevent erosion.
Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) has assured the people that an application has been sent to the Dhaka office for an emergency allocation to prevent erosion in the Tangail section of the Jamuna River.
