The River Gorai which was heavily silted up and lost her navigability for months together during the lean period is now flowing again much to the surprise and joy of the people living on the either side of the river bank from Kushtia to the Sunderbans (Bangladesh). This has been possible following the re-excavation of the Gorai over 20km starting from the mouth of Gorai and the dredging work has been completed by the end last March.
