Jamuna

Farmers, carrying crops, walk long paths on sandbars, locally known as char, formed on the River Jamuna in Shariakandi, Bogura. During the monsoon, this area goes underwater but dries up during winter for months. Residents of both sides of the river have to cross this long sandy path on foot as no vehicle can run on this silt landmass. File Photo: Rajib Dhar
