An embankment in the Palashtola Bakkar Mor area of Dhanua Kamalpur Union, Bakshiganj upazila of Jamalpur, collapsed under pressure from hill torrents, flooding nearby low-lying areas. The incident, reported on June 19, 2026, has raised fears among local farmers of severe damage to their Aus paddy and jute crops.
According to local accounts, a section of the embankment had already broken about a month earlier due to heavy rainfall, causing significant losses to Boro paddy at that time. Despite the earlier damage, no effective repair measures were taken, allowing the recent heavy rains and hill torrents to worsen the situation. Farmers observed water rushing through the broken section, threatening to submerge surrounding farmland.
Local farmers have urged the administration and the Water Development Board to take immediate action to repair the embankment and protect their crops. They warned that without urgent repairs, hundreds of acres of farmland could go underwater, leading to major financial losses this season.
