Thakurgaon, Oct. 9 -- prone stretch of land, the Rautnagar Canal area in Thakurgaon's Ranisankail upazila has been transformed into a thriving agricultural zone, thanks to its recent re-excavation.

The eight-kilometre-long canal, stretching from Sreepur Mouza in Ranisankail upazila to the Keutan Border Bridge, has breathed new life into local farming.

Nearly 25,000 acres of land that were once limited to a single crop now yield up to three harvests a year, marking a significant turnaround for thousands of farmers in the border region.

In addition to revitalising farmland, the project has also reclaimed around 30 acres of encroached government land, which will now be utilised for community development under official management.
