New erosion by the Madhumati River has broken out in the Pankharchar area of Phukra Union under Kashiani Upazila in Gopalganj. About 30 bighas of land have already been swallowed by the river, while hundreds of bighas of agricultural lands, homesteads, and roads remain under threat. Farmers are in despair as cultivation of Boro, Aman, and sugarcane has been ruined.
Jamal Hossain, a farmer from Pankharchar village, has lost 4 out of his 7 bighas of cultivable land. Affected farmers have urgently appealed to the government to construct permanent dams to prevent erosion. The Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) stated that steps will be taken in the erosion-prone areas after inspection.
