The Tongkabati Canal, which flows from the Chimbuk Hills in Bandarban, serves as a vital water source for local hill communities who depend on it for irrigation. Although the canal is quite dry even during the monsoon season, the hill people are currently suffering from a shortage of water for their crops. Silt accumulation has also decreased the depth of the water body. Photo: U She Thowai Marma
