River erosion at Mithamoin

The residents of Baishnabhati village, located in the Kewarjor union under Mithamoin upazila of Kishorganj district, are facing a dire situation due to river erosion. Witnesses report a tragic scene unfolding along the riverside, with two houses and cowsheds on the western side of the village already submerged in the river. In the adverse climate of the haor, where survival is a daily struggle, this recent worsening of the river erosion problem has exacerbated the challenges faced by the villagers. They are suffering from severe anxiety in the face of this existential threat. It is imperative that urgent action is taken to address this pressing issue and alleviate the suffering of the local community.

Against this backdrop, local administration must swiftly intervene and implement measures to mitigate the effects of river erosion in Baishnabhati village. The residents deserve support and assistance in navigating this crisis and safeguarding their livelihoods.
