Farmers face problem in rotting jute plants in Narsingdi [1]

The jute growers in Narsingdi are facing problem in rotting their harvested jute plants due to lack of sufficient water in canals, ponds and ditches.
Rotting of jute plants need at least three-foot depth of water but the local water sources such as canals, ponds and ditches lack the required amount of water, local farmers said.
Absence of sufficient water in the canals and ditches are seriously hampering rotting of jute plants in different areas of the district this year, they said.
