Supreme Court senior lawyer and Jamaat-e-Islami central working committee member Mohammad Shishir Monir has criticized the construction of unplanned embankments in the haor areas of Sunamganj. Speaking live on Facebook from Chhaya Haor in Shalla on Friday morning, he said hundreds of crores of taka are spent every year on embankments that lack proper water drainage systems. He emphasized that canals and wetlands are not being excavated and called for immediate dredging of haor canals, rivers, and wetlands to ensure water flow.
Monir stated that heavy rainfall has submerged boro paddy fields in Sunamganj, causing the crops to rot and resulting in widespread distress among farmers. He described the situation as a humanitarian disaster, with people struggling to find food for themselves and their cattle. He urged the government to declare Sunamganj an environmentally affected area and to stand beside the farmers.
He also mentioned that the government has announced three months of financial assistance but questioned how many people would actually receive the support.
