Farmers from four Kishoreganj villages, hit by submerged croplands, form a human chain near the Kolapara railway crossing yesterday, demanding re‑excavation of the old Uddeya canal to prevent waterlogging across Shukhni, Kachhuar, Chinakandi, Meyakona and other beels. They lamented the canal’s lost navigability due to years of neglect. A memorandum was later submitted to local lawmaker through the Sadar UNO.
