Stone Harvest On The Jadukata River

An aerial view shows hundreds of wooden boats navigating and gathering on the Jadukata River in Tahirpur, Sunamganj, Bangladesh, on July 4, 2026. The river serves as a busy waterway where local residents and workers transport people, fishing gear, and stone and sand collected from nearby riverbeds. During the dry season, the Jadukata becomes a hub of economic activity, with boats crisscrossing its clear waters beneath the hills along the Bangladesh-India border, highlighting the river's importance to local livelihoods and transportation.
