Alipurduar, Aug. 28: A section of the railway tracks in Kalchini has been left hanging in the air after the soil beneath it was washed away by the Kabli Jhora, which suddenly changed course and swallowed the nearly 80-metre-long approach to the bridge that spans the river.

In the past 24 hours, the rainfall recorded in Kalchini's Hasimara was 95mm and the downpour has increased water in almost all the rivers.

Erosion by the Madhumati and Nabaganga rivers continue to wreak havoc at different villages under Lohagara and Kalia upazila in Narail, rendering at least 1,000 people homeless in the last two weeks.
About 500 dwelling houses at 20 villages under the two upazilas have been devoured during the period leaving around 1,000 people homeless, according to sources at union parishads concerned.
Besides, at least 1,500 acres of crop land have gone into the rivers, the sources said.
