In Khulna’s Dumuria Upazila, a government river dredging project has buried not only land but the fragile hopes of more than a hundred homeless families, who once believed they had finally escaped a life of displacement.

Now, those same families from two Ashrayan housing projects are living in an open field beside Chuknagar cattle market, exposed to heat, rain and uncertainty after their homes were engulfed by soil excavated from the Buri-Bhadra River.
