Fighting the onrush of flash flood, locals use bamboos trying to erect a fence for sandbags to save an embankment in Khorsar Haor in Sunamganj's Bishwamvarpur on Thursday. However, it was of little use. Most of the Boro fields in the district went under water after heavy rain and the onrush of water from the hills breached embankments causing loss of crops.
