Comprehensive measures needed to address the region's crippling water crisis and attendant problems

Farmers in Bangladesh have been left displeased with lower rainfall during the monsoon season this year as they were unable to plant Aman paddy on time due to a lack of natural irrigation.

The Rahimpur canal in Sylhet’s Zakiganj upazila is only about three kilometres away from the source of the Surma and the Kushiyara rivers.

The power load has moved one hour earlier following the rescheduling of office hours, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said today.

IT is interesting to see farmers living in a village that has no access to electricity come up with an innovative solution to their irrigation woes.
