Construct embankments in haor area by January

Environmentalists yesterday demanded that the authorities concerned complete construction and renovation of embankments in Haor areas by January to save Boro paddy from inundation, says a press release.
Even though December-February is the best time for building and renovating the embankments, but these works are not done in proper time which causes damage to the crops, they claimed at a rally organised by Nagorik Sanghati in front of Bangladesh National Museum in the capital's Shahbag.
The construction work is often done in a hurry by the end of February due to the delay in formulating projects, forming the implementation committees and allocating budgets, they said.
