After nearly two decades of waiting around for the authorities to take steps, farmers in Baufal upazila finally decided to restore a two-kilometre long dormant canal on their own.
The restoration of the Jauta-Naumala-Boga canal, running through Baufal and Naumala unions, will benefit local farmers grow crops on about 500 acres of land all year long.
During a visit to the area on February 18, several hundred volunteers were seen at work. About 750 metres of the canal running along Aleya Rahman Ladies Club Government Primary School was found re-excavated already.
