10,000ha crops lost as dam breaks at Shonir Haor
Around 10,000 hectares of cropland has been washed away when part of the dam at Shonir Haor in Tahirpur upazila collapsed early on Sunday.
The embankment collapsed around 1.00am due to increased water level in the haor, said upazila chairman Kamruzzaman Kamrul.
Incessant rainfall paired with water flowing down from the upstream hilly areas increased the water level on the hoar, said the chairman.
