Due to waterlogging in Cowardighi Haor area of Moulvibazar, there is a threat of plantation of saplings. Locals have formed a human chain in Moulvibazar demanding quick relief of waterlogging.

On Sunday noon, farmers and leaders of various organizations of Haor took part in a human chain organized by the Haor Raksha Sangram Committee in Chaumuhna of Moulvibazar city. At the time, the speakers said that thousands of hectares of land will not come under Aman Abad because Kasimpur pump house is not operational under Manundi project for waterlogging in the area adjacent to Cowadighi Haor. They demanded that all the pumps of Kasimpur pump house should be turned on for the quick elimination of artificial waterlogging to ensure the cultivation of saplings. Otherwise, the speakers warned of a strict agenda for the realization of demands including protest rally, siege program with the farmers. Apart from this, they believe that the abnormal increase in the price of Jalani oil will have an impact on agriculture.

The affected farmers and members of the organization spoke under the chairmanship of Moulvibazar district president Mounur Rahman Magnu and general secretary Rajan Ahmed in the human chain.
