Fishing boats lie idle at the scenic Kalitola Ghat in Bogura’s Sariakandi upazila as fish have become scarce in this dried-up part of the Jamuna amid winter. Due to poor navigability, nearly one lakh people of seven unions on Jamuna chars also can no longer use the terminal to reach Sariakandi town.
