Monsoon rainfall has sharply declined in Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, and Panchagarh, severely impacting agriculture. Farmers are struggling to plant Aman rice due to dry fields and are incurring extra costs for irrigation. Jute cultivation is also at risk, as soaking requires sufficient water. Meteorological data confirms a significant drop in July rainfall compared to previous years. Experts attribute the irregular pattern to climate change, warning that continued rainfall shortages may threaten crop yields and farmer livelihoods in the region.
