Six unions of Char Union have formed a human chain demanding construction of flood control dam for about two kilometers from Naturpara on the west side of the Jamuna river in Kazipur, Sirajganj. The program was held in the area at Natuapara Hat on Wednesday morning.
Kazipur Upazila Chairman Mozammel Haque Sarkar, Natoarpara UP chairman Abdul Mannan, former chairman Tojammel Haque, UP member Ruhul Amin and Bellal Hossain spoke during the human chain.
The speakers said that a famous hat has been developed at Naturpara of Natore Para Union. Due to the massive erosion in the Jamuna river Natuarpara area in about half a decade, various business entities including the place of the Hat are displaced in the river bed. This area must be protected by building fast flood control dams.
