Misiries of the People caused by the erosion of the Meghna

Staff Correspondent:

The erosion of Maghna has destroyed 20 areas of land in its both sides. Two thousand people living by its sides are badly affected as they have lost their dwelling places and cultivable lands. People of this area spend their day and night in the open air.

They have acute food and sanitation problem. Many of them starve for days. One of these suffering people has informed that no aid from govt has yet to come. Few NGOs have come with inadequate help. Because of food problem they are suffering from malnutrition and diarrhea.

Severe cold adds pain to their miseries as they have no shelter at night. Some personal of local government have visited the affected area and given some promises to solve the problems. But affected people demand long lasting solution to their problems.
