Erosion leaves 1,000 homeless in Narail

Erosion by the Madhumati and Nabaganga rivers continue to wreak havoc at different villages under Lohagara and Kalia upazila in Narail, rendering at least 1,000 people homeless in the last two weeks. About 500 dwelling houses at 20 villages under the two upazilas have been devoured during the period leaving around 1,000 people homeless, according to sources at union parishads concerned. Besides, at least 1,500 acres of crop land have gone into the rivers, the sources said.
