Proposals of four projects for Surma excavation were sent to the ministry concerned so far, but none was okayed yet

Once the lifeline of Sylhet, the River Surma has turned into a veritable narrow canal owing to unabated encroachment, indiscriminate dumping of waste, and siltation. Around 200 wide chars have appeared in the river from Zakiganj to Sylhet and most of the river dries up during the dry season. Photo: TBS
