Hooghly River Erosion Threatens Serampore Town

Over the past few years, the river has been eroding its banks, especially after heavy rains.

This is causing cracks in roads and buildings, making people worried about their homes.

Some people even planted trees to try and stop the erosion.

Everyone hopes to protect the town from the river's hunger.
