Heavy hill floods from India have inundated vast croplands in Cumilla, leaving more than a thousand farmers facing severe losses. Early-season vegetables and other crops in Adarsha Sadar and Burichang upazilas were submerged as the Gomti River overflowed on Thursday morning. Farmers were seen wading through waist-deep water trying to salvage what they could from fields of gourds, leafy greens, and other vegetables.
Local farmers reported extensive damage, with some losing investments worth hundreds of thousands of taka. Many were forced to harvest immature crops in an attempt to recover part of their losses before total destruction. The affected areas include Kachiatali Amtali, Balikhara, Bhanti, and Kamarkhara, where floodwaters have covered large stretches of farmland.
Mizanur Rahman, Deputy Director of the Department of Agricultural Extension in Cumilla, confirmed that thousands of farmers’ crops have been submerged due to rising water levels in the Gomti River. He said officials are on-site assessing the situation and that necessary assistance measures will be taken after the damage survey is completed.
