Water levels in two major rivers of Netrokona district have risen above the danger mark, according to local authorities on April 29, 2026. The Bhugai-Kangsha River was flowing 82 centimeters above the danger level at the Jaria-Jhanjail point, while the Someshwari River was 50 centimeters and the Magra River 2 centimeters above the danger level. The Water Development Board confirmed that 68 millimeters of rainfall was recorded in Jaria-Jhanjail and 55 millimeters in Durgapur.

The district’s agriculture department reported that in the current season, 21,065 hectares of land in Kolmakanda have been cultivated with Boro paddy, including 4,630 hectares in the haor areas. As of noon on the reporting day, only 45 percent of the paddy had been harvested. Heavy rainfall has already submerged 600 hectares of ripe paddy fields.

Officials are monitoring the situation closely as rising river levels and continued rainfall pose risks to unharvested crops in the low-lying haor regions.
