Boats lie idle on the shallow water of the Mahananda river. People now grow paddy on it. The once mighty river has largely dried up in recent years due to withdrawal of its water upstream, throwing hundreds of fishermen out of work. The photo was taken at Baroghoria in Chapainawabganj yesterday. Photo: Rabiul Hasan Dollar
The Surma river slowly eroding Mirergaon and Khalpar in Sylhet sadar upazila. Around 2,000 people, mostly from fishing families, live in the two villages. The residents said in the last few years, 50/60 houses were devoured, and that they requested the high authorities for preventive action, but to no avail. The photo was taken at Mirergaon Friday.
