Reports of slow, sloppy embankment works worrying

Authorities must prepare better, and more wisely

At least 50 families residing in Char Poulee village under Tangail Sadar upazila are passing sleepless nights as the Jamuna river’s erosion worsened this monsoon.

Displacement due to river erosion is an entirely different story.

It is because the physical nature of rivers in Bangladesh are different from that of the rivers in Western countries.

Government must help local communities become more resilient to such calamities

It's increasing the risk of river erosion, endangering farmland and depleting soil fertility

An experimental exhibition on five methods to prevent erosion has been held at a village on the shoal of Teesta River in Aditmari upazila of Lalmonirhat.

Erosion of the Jamuna has begun near the east end of the Bangabandhu Multipurpose Bridge in Tangail’s Kalihati upazila since Thursday.
