Faridpur, Sept 20 (UNB) – The government has taken necessary steps to protect river erosion in Charbhadrason upazila of the district, said Deputy Commissioner Umme Salma on Thursday.
The Water Development Board will start placing geo-bags to protect the erosion at the banks of the Padma, Madhumati and Arial Khan rivers from Friday, she said.
“The erosion will be protected at any cost,” said the government official while visiting the affected areas including Baliadangi, Fazle Kha Dangi and MP Dangi in the upazila.
River erosion has taken a serious turn in the district due to the rise of river water in the rainy season.
