Continuous erosion of the Jamuna River has caused about 60 feet of the Tarakandi-Bhuapur regional highway in Shakharia-Nolin area of Hemnagar Union, Gopalpur upazila, Tangail, to collapse into the river. Due to new cracks appearing along several parts of the road, all vehicular movement has remained suspended for the third consecutive day, severely affecting thousands of passengers and local residents.
According to local observations, rising water levels and strong currents have damaged the flood control embankment and nearby sections of the highway near the Shakharia sluice gate. Residents are moving belongings to safer places amid fears that a complete breach of the embankment could flood large parts of Gopalpur and neighboring upazilas, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of people and cutting off key road links. Local officials and the Bangladesh Water Development Board have inspected the site.
Authorities have begun dumping geo-bags along about 100 feet of the damaged area to control the situation. Officials said sufficient geo-bags have been supplied and emergency dumping is underway while the river’s flow is being continuously monitored.
