A 48-metre stretch of the Padma embankment has developed cracks, posing a significant erosion threat to the local fish market. At least 48 businesses are currently at risk due to the instability. As a precautionary measure, six businesses have already been relocated. The Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) is currently deploying geobags to mitigate further damage and stabilize the area.
