Jadukata’s difficult days stretch on

The Jadukata River in the border area of Sunamganj’s Tahirpur has long been a site for sand and stone extraction. Every day, environmentally-destructive dredging machines continue the extraction, causing serious problems for the people who live in the villages on the river’s banks.

The constant mining of sand and stone has led to consistent erosion of the banks of the Jadukata River.
