In Brahmanbaria’s Nasirnagar upazila, floodwaters have submerged 305 hectares of Boro paddy fields, including those in Medi Haor. The incident occurred as water levels rose sharply over the past two days, damaging newly planted crops. Although the weather improved on Tuesday with clear skies and sunshine, farmers are still facing a shortage of laborers for harvesting and drying their crops.
According to the upazila agriculture department, Boro paddy was cultivated on 11,000 hectares in Nasirnagar this season. About 70 percent of the crop was harvested before the early floodwaters arrived, but more than a thousand farmers have suffered losses. Many farmers said they had cultivated their land with borrowed money at high interest rates and now face severe financial hardship after losing their crops.
Officials stated that a list of affected farmers is being prepared. During the ongoing Boro harvest season, priority and relief assistance will be provided to those who have suffered the most damage.
