A sudden breach in the Gujauni embankment at Dekhar Haor in Sunamganj on Saturday, April 11, 2026, caused floodwaters to rush into hundreds of acres of half-ripe Boro paddy fields. The incident sparked panic among local farmers, many of whom appealed for help through social media as they watched their fields submerge. Witnesses reported that water was entering the haor at high speed, threatening widespread crop damage.
Local residents alleged that a leaseholder of a nearby wetland had failed to properly repair the embankment after fish harvesting, leaving it weak and vulnerable to pressure from rising water. Farmers and local authorities responded urgently, using bamboo, sandbags, and other materials to reinforce the damaged section. Water Development Board officials confirmed that emergency repairs were underway with 100 geo-bags and bamboo, and that water inflow had been stopped.
Officials stated that although the embankment does not fall under the Water Development Board’s jurisdiction, a team was deployed to assist in protecting the crops and stabilizing the structure.
