Agradwip:Info

Agradwip is a large
locality in the Burdwan
district of West
Bengal. Floods and soil
erosion have been a major
issue in Malda, Dinajpur,
Murshidabad and in some
other districts of West
Bengal. Thousands of
people have already been
effected due to soil
erosion here in Agradwip.
The entire socio-
economical structure have
been changed because of
the soil erosion around the
river. It has become a
regular phenomena in all
these areas. The erosion
has reached to such an
extent that thousands
of acres have been totally
eroded by the river. The
villagers regularly flee from
one place to another. The
effort from the State
irrigation department is
mostly unfruitful still now.
The local BDO & the
pradahan of the gram
panchayet has visited the
area several times &
witnessed the effect of the
calamity. Although they
have ordered for
preventive measures, the
villagers are still under
trauma & most of them
refused to return to the
village.
