Boro harvest in full swing

Haors and low-lying areas of Sunamganj and Moulvibazar are getting flooded as almost all major rivers in the country’s north-eastern districts and in the Indian state of Meghalaya are swelling up due to heavy rains, triggered by Cyclone Fani.  However, officials at Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) do not anticipate that the flooding will be able to cause any significant damage to local agriculture as most farmers have already harvested paddy from croplands before Fani swept through the country on Saturday, reports our Sylhet correspondent.
