Kushigang: When the river turned into a drain

The 38-kilometer-long river, passing through various haors and beels, meets the Surma River in Sylhet city at the Kushighat area. The only connection between the Surma River in Sylhet and the Sari River in Jaintapur is the Kushigang River. During the Mughal period, the Kushigang River was the only means of transport and trade in the hilly towns of northeastern Sylhet.
