Just two days before Eid-ul-Azha, joy is missing in the haor regions of Sunamganj as widespread crop losses have left farmers struggling financially. Many who had planned to sacrifice cattle for the festival are unable to do so due to lack of money. Farmers in areas such as Shalla, Shantiganj, and Sadar upazilas described their despair after their paddy fields were submerged by heavy rains and flooding.
Local farmers, including Konok Chowdhury and Ali Nur, said they could not harvest or dry their paddy because of continuous rain. Union Parishad member Fayzur Rahman noted that the government had promised humanitarian aid for affected farmers before Eid, but the assistance had not arrived, deepening their frustration. The farmers said the haor region remains in distress, with no festive spirit this year.
Many farmers reported losing all their crops and having no cash in hand, leaving them unable to participate in Eid traditions. The emotional toll of the disaster has overshadowed the usual joy of the festival across Sunamganj’s haor areas.
