The Gorai River flows right beside Kushtia town. The second embankment built to protect Kushtia town is named the "Rain-week Jagneshwar Embankment". In one word it can be called this town's embankment of life. People of every profession in the town come to this embankment for recreation. All day long its green-fringed sides ring with the murmuring sound of the river. Across the river you can see Haripur village. When the river holds water, countless little fish can be seen darting about.
At present, fish experts have identified this fish as the small whale. When the river is in tide, people of all classes go boating. From this embankment the Padma River can be seen. Many go to the Padma River with a trawler. Going there is an even more exquisite sight. You can see the Hardinge Bridge and the Lalon Bridge. A little further on is the Soleman Shah Mazar. It is an exquisite scene, ever resounding with the murmuring of birds, fish, wind and water.
Sad but true, our beloved embankment has hardly any proper arrangements for tourists to come and sit. Our demand: it is time to pay attention so that tourists who come may find enjoyment.
Rain-week Jagneshwar Embankment (Rainweek badh)
There are three embankments protecting Kushtia town.
- Kamalapur Embankment
- Rain-week Embankment
- Public Embankment
All three embankments are very important to the people of Kushtia town. These protective embankments are quite old; repairing them again is extremely urgent. It is the demand of Kushtia people's hearts that both banks of the Gorai River be lined and secured with stone.
It is an embankment of Kushtia people's joys and sorrows. One remembers those days: when someone fails an examination, this embankment then becomes the companion of their sorrow; and again, for the one who passes, it becomes the companion of their joy.
Lovers crowd here constantly. Many old trees stand on this embankment; some say they are trees of the British era. In all these trees there are birds of every kind and colour. The parakeet (tiya) catches our eye most of all — there are plenty of parakeets in all these trees.
To preserve this heritage of ours — this embankment — the people of Kushtia town must come forward. To that end the people of Kushtia town must work on how these embankments can be made more vibrant.
