Embankments

With roads and homesteads still under water, people in Satkhira, hit hard by the cyclonic storm Amphan, seem fated to suffer for many more days to come as there is hardly any initiative for their rehabilitation. The photo was taken recently. TBS Photo

Tidal surges damage embankments, roads in Satkhira

On August 20, tidal water from the Kopotakkho and the kholpetua rivers accompanied by heavy downpours have washed away the embankments in several areas along the unions and flooded the localities

Breached embankments cause more damage than slowly rising flood, and then the communities get waterlogged. Photo: Salahudddin Ahmed
