Tultikr canal used to have much more water even during the dry period a few years ago, but the situation is not the same anymore. In the last couple of years, housing projects were developed on its banks, while brick fields mushroomed along it, narrowing the channel at places. The 6-7km canal gets water from the Surma, and the photo was taken Wednesday at a spot which is only 1km from the place where it meets the river, in Sylhet sadar upazila. Photo: Sheikh Nasir
