A breach in the embankment of the 20th PIC under the Kailani sub-project in Madhyanagar upazila of Sunamganj has been brought under control through joint efforts. The embankment began to overflow on Thursday night, leading to gradual erosion. In response, local administration, Water Development Board officials, political leaders, and farmers rushed to the site early Friday morning and began repair work using geo-bags, bamboo, and other materials. As of Friday afternoon, repair operations were still ongoing.
PIC president Md. Lal Mia said continuous rainfall caused soil erosion, lowering the embankment, and he stayed on-site overnight to oversee protection efforts. Upazila BNP joint convener Abul Bashar stated that the embankment was now somewhat stabilized due to collective action. According to agricultural sub-assistant officer Kabir Hossain, around 300 hectares of land in Shaldigha Haor were affected, with 30 hectares submerged before harvest and 160 hectares of paddy already reaped.
Acting Upazila Executive Officer Sanjay Ghosh said authorities responded immediately after receiving reports of water intrusion and expressed hope that the embankment would soon be fully stabilized.
