Water Resources Minister Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, MP, inspected river and embankment areas linked to the Muhuri-Kahua flood control project in Feni’s Parshuram and Fulgazi. The visit came ahead of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s expected arrival for the project’s inauguration. On Tuesday afternoon, the minister visited the Muhuri Bridge-adjacent river and embankment area on the Parshuram-Subar Bazar road.
During the inspection, he received information from relevant officials on the project’s current condition, vulnerable embankment sections, river erosion and measures being taken for flood control. In the severe floods of 2024, parts of embankments along the Muhuri, Kahua and Silonia rivers collapsed, inundating wide areas of Parshuram and Fulgazi. Residents have since demanded permanent flood-control arrangements and durable embankments.
Local residents showed strong interest in the minister’s visit. They expect the project, with an ECNEC-approved allocation of Tk1,500 crore, to reduce annual risks of flooding and erosion caused by hill runoff and rising river water. Preparations are continuing in the area for the prime minister’s visit and the project inauguration.
