Approximately 100 homesteads lost to Kaljani River in Bhurungamari within 3 days

Over the past three days, riverbank erosion by the Kaljani River has destroyed approximately 100 homesteads in North and South Dholdanga villages of Shilkhuri Union, Bhurungamari, Kurigram. Residents are facing severe displacement and uncertainty, with critical infrastructure like North Dholdanga High School and Boubazar under threat. The local administration has visited the site and planned an emergency response involving the placement of geo-bags to mitigate further erosion.
