Emergency initiative by Acting Speaker prevents riverbank erosion, protecting eight villages

Flash floods from upstream and rising water levels of the Someshwari and Netai rivers caused severe riverbank erosion in Durgapur Upazila, threatening eight villages and the Bandoushan market. Emergency intervention, including the placement of 200 meters of geo-bags, was coordinated by the Acting Speaker to mitigate the threat. Local residents are now demanding a permanent embankment to ensure long-term safety for their homes and livelihoods.
