NARAIL, Aug 23, 2025 (BSS) – Erosions have taken serious turn in Narail as major rivers are overflowing due to incessant rains during the rainy seasons.  

Avijit Kumar Saha,  executive engineer of district water development board(WDB),  told BSS that “River bank erosion is common phenomenon as the Narail districts witnessed the disaster every year due to rising of water levels of Madhumati, Nabaganga and Chitra.” 

“We are taking initiatives to prevent the riverbank erosion in the district  .  . .  water development board is dumping GEO bags in the rivers to weak strong current which eventually will help stop riverbank erosion.”  
   
Alongside taking temporary measures, the WDB starts official procedures for construction embankment in the district aiming to avert riverbank erosion.  
Residents of Uthali village  - -  Panna Sheikh and Mannu Sheikh   - - said during the past one and a half month,  houses, infrastructures,  playgrounds and trees have been devoured in adjacent areas of these three major rivers Madhumati, 

Nabaganga and Chitra.  Crops on the vast tract of the district were severely damaged due to the erosions. 

People in the Narail district said riverbank may damage their houses, business establishments and other property and they urged the authorities concerned to take prompt measures to protect risky areas from erosion.
