Deadly lightning appears scary for Kishoreganj haor, hampering harvest

Each year, lives are lost by these sudden strikes, and 2025 is proving no different. The fear of death is there when workers are in the fields under ominous skies

The strange mobile villages of haor

A farmer plants seasonal paddy while standing in knee deep water at the Jhilwanja area in Cox’s Bazar. This year’s record-low rainfall and extreme hot weather made it challenging for farmers to grow the seasonal paddy, which depends on monsoon rains for a profitable harvest season. According to the meteorological department, the amount of rainfall shrunk by 47% nationwide and by 58% in the Chattogram Division in August. The photo was taken recently. Photo: Mumit M
