Kurigram correspondent: Amago Kaiyo did not give me food, I am eating what I had accumulated before Ban. ' The unions around the Brahmaputra have been inundated by heavy rains and hill slopes at Ulipur in Kurigram. The flood waters have washed away people's houses, cattle and vegetable fields. People and cattle from the flood-hit unions have taken up residence in clusters of villages. There is a crisis of food, cattle and clean water. Seeing the boats used for data collection, the Banavasis are rushing for relief. The people sheltered in the floating char cluster villages say, we don’t get government non-government help co-operation. On Saturday (June 25), the Brahmaputra was visited, houses and cattle shelters, including farmers' farms, were submerged in water. Shelter projects have taken shelter in Guchh village and Char Ghughumari Guchh village. Although it is not yet possible to distribute shelter houses in Char Ghughumari, more than three hundred people from different chars have taken shelter in 70 houses. There are 40 shelter houses in Jagrat Guchh village on Sukher Char. There are also more than two hundred people who have taken shelter from different chars. Their cattle have taken shelter with the people. People and livestock are in food crisis there. There are only two tubewells for hundreds of people in the high ground of the two shelters. To alleviate the water crisis, the shelters are running in search of pure water by boat. The sanitation system also makes it fragile. The people of the lowlands are not getting the courage to return home even though the flood waters have started receding. The current is still flowing through the yard. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) do not have activities in the char areas. Banavasira of Char deprived of all kinds of facilities. Every year they spend the year growing crops on the soil of the awake char. In this flood, Chinese nuts, jute fields, vegetable lands have all been submerged. The people of Char think that there will be a possibility of malnutrition along with the production crisis. Saidul, Akbar Mollah, Nargishara said, "We have been in Guchh village for nine days now. He said the same thing, taking refuge in the village of Ghughumari Guchh, Zahura, Firoza, Sikdar. The people's representatives are complaining that it is not possible to reach the people floating in the forest with the help they are getting from the government. Begumganj Union Chairman Bablu Mia said the Dudhkumar, Dharla and Brahmaputra rivers surround his union, with hundreds of houses being washed away by the river every day, as well as insufficient government assistance. Meanwhile, on Friday (June 25) afternoon, the Banavasis set up a shelter in Hatia Union. Shelter Vepo (90), Rustam said, 'Hummer eti elao kayo khabar dei nahi bahe.' Bipul Kumar, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO), said that whatever government assistance is coming, it is being distributed accurately in the flood affected areas. Asked about the Go food, he said the company has ordered and they will be delivered to the Banavasis in time.
