Severe Dhaleshwari erosion in Munshiganj

Erosion by the Dhaleshwari river has taken a serious turn in  Munshiganj town due to the onrush of water from the upstream.

A big portion of Munshiganj Town Protection Embankment in Malirpathar area went into the gorge of the Dhaleshwari River on Thursday and Friday.

The locals said thousands of people in the town are living in constant fear of erosion when they are struggling to cope with the deadly Covid-19 outbreak that challenges their livelihood.

Other portion of the embankment, many houses and establishments now stand threatened by the riverbank erosion.

Advocate Mrinal Kanti Das, parliament member of Munshiganj-3 and liberation war affairs secretary of Awami League central committee, visited the erosion area.

During the visit, he assured the local people of all kind of support and cooperation from him to protect the town.
