Saeed Mistry from the Kadamtali village of Manda upazila swam in the countryside on the south side. He said there is no way to get from home to market without swimming. After buying, you have to swim in the water again and go home.
Enamul Haque, a farmer from Nurullabad village, said he cried when he thought of the rice paddy in the field. The biggest flood was in 1995. Since then, when the water level rises, the dam breaks. The harvest is sinking.
The district’s relief and rehabilitation officer, Kamrul Ahsan, said 3,060 families in 12 unions of Atrai and Manda upazilas have already submerged. 9,214 hectares of rice aman planted have been submerged. No houses have yet been submerged in Raninagar upazila. However, two junctions of Sapahar upazila upstream from Mandar have been flooded. Water from the Atrai River flowed above the zero point 37 meters of the danger zone on Monday.
Arifuzzaman Khan, executive engineer for Naogaon Paubo, said the embankment does not belong to the Water Development Board. However, if they do break, they must be repaired. The dam they built, which is now used as a highway, was also standardized as a flood control dam, it cannot be said. Manda, Atrai and Raninagar upazilas along the south bank of the Atrai River 150 km flood control dam construction project sent. It will cost around 600 million rupees.
