Despite the onset of the monsoon, water remains absent in Sunamganj’s haor region, causing a severe slump in boat sales at the Aktapara market in Shantiganj. With dried-up rivers and canals, demand for boats has dropped sharply, leading to financial strain for many traders dependent on this traditional marketplace. Increased boat production costs and fewer buyers have further worsened the situation. Locals hope upcoming rains will revive the market and restore their livelihoods.

Boat Sales Decline Due to Lack of Water in Haor During Monsoon, Traders Face Losses

There is a common saying among the people of the haor region: "Boats in monsoon, foot in dry season" — but now it seems to be just words. Although the monsoon season has started, there is still no water in the haors of Sunamganj. This has had a significant impact on the Aktapara Boat Market in Dargapasha Union of Shantiganj Upazila. This market, which has been active for over three decades, is facing a major slump this season.
