About 110 meters of the protective embankment at the Padma Bridge construction yard in Shariatpur’s Jajira area collapsed due to strong river currents, causing at least 30 homes to be washed away. Locals are relocating amid fear of further erosion. The Water Development Board is dumping geobags and geotubes to halt the damage, but heavy currents and rain hinder efforts. Authorities plan permanent embankment repairs before the next rainy season and will assist affected families.
