About 25 thousand hectares of Aus paddy land including 3500 hectares of seedbeds in villages adjacent to Hakaluki Haor in Kulaura, Juri and Baralekha upazilas of Moulvibazar district has gone under water as heavy downpour inundated fresh areas during the last couple of days.
The flooding has compelled authorities to close 30 primary and high schools and a college around the water body in Juri, Kulaura and Baralekha upazilas of the Moulvibazar district.
Worst affected aus lands are situated in the haor bank villages of Singnath, Guptagram, Bisrakandi, Leurhai, Mirshankar, Dilderpur, Habera, Chhaykapon, Sonatola, Moturganj,Tirkhali, Bade Bhukshimul, Kaleshar, Nabiganj and Silarkandi.
Farmers are worried about the fate of their crops as a large portion of the croplands near the haor has remained under water for the last two weeks. Farmers in the same areas had also lost much of their boro crops in the just ended boro season due to stagnation of water from Hakaluki haor.
