Concrete Embankment on Dasa River Brings Relief to Sundarbans Residents

• A new concrete embankment on the Dasa River in Hingalganj, North 24 Parganas, brings relief to Sundarbans residents.
• For years, people in the Sundarbans have faced constant threats from river erosion, cyclones like Amphan, Yaas, and Aila, and saline water intrusion.
• Weak earthen embankments frequently collapsed, leading to widespread flooding and destruction of agricultural land by saline water.
• The concrete embankment protects villages like Kumirmari and Rupmari from river erosion and saline water, preserving agricultural fertility.
• Locals are happy but demand further concrete embankment construction for several more kilometers to ensure long-term safety.

Why It Matters: A new concrete embankment on the Dasa River offers crucial protection and hope for Sundarbans residents.
