Dead River

One winter afternoon, few people are roaming in an almost dead Gorai river’s sands and a boat man goes to the destination in Kushtia district, Bangladesh. There was a time when the river was full of water, but from many years this river become less water or dead; it starts from winter and ends to summer-just before starting the monsoon season, due to global warming and the construction of dams on the river in neighbouring country. In rainy season/monsoon when it rains, a lot of water can be seen in the river.
