Problem: The year-round erosion of Brahmaputra and Yamuna rivers is the biggest problem of the people of this upazila. 
As two big rivers such as Yamuna river and Brahmaputra river flow through an upazila, this upazila gets flooded even during normal monsoons, causing extreme suffering in public life. Providing island chare services (transportation of teachers to schools, transport of health and family welfare workers, disaster relief) is very difficult during floods.
