Workers dig the ground to collect soil from the bank of the Surma in Sylhet Sadar upazila's Muktirchalk area, just around 200 yards from Jalalabad Police Station. The soil would be used in brick kilns in the area. Such acts by some unscrupulous soil traders are putting the area at risk of erosion. Photo: Sheikh Nasir

Women workers are busy harvesting paddy in Thakurgaon's Chutbothina village on Monday. Although farmers have a bumper Aman crop this season, they are frustrated at the low price of their produce at local markets. They are selling paddy at Tk 620 to Tk 650 per maund, down from Tk 750 to Tk 800 last year. Photo: Quamrul Islam Rubaiyat
