Erosion threatens eastern Jamuna embankment
The people in five upazilas of Tangail are living in fear as a portion of the embankment at the eastern side of the River Jamuna has been eroded recently. Around 50-metre of the embankment at its Sakharia point in Nolin Bazar was eroded on August 20, causing worries among the people. The people under Ghatail, Bhuapur, Gopalpur, Kalihati and Modhupur upazilas fear collapse of the embankment unless the eroded portion is immediately repaired.
