What property did Meherjan lose due to river erosion?

The whispering wind from the river Jamuna makes the fire unsteady.

Erosion is a harsh reality for thousands of people who live along the river banks. In every monsoon, the mighty rivers like the Jamuna, the Padma and the Meghna impose threat on the villagers.

The writer calls the 'Jamuna' greedy because it consumes and devours everything without mercy. It shatters the dreams and happiness of the people.

If we cannot control river erosion, many more people like Meherjan will become homeless every year in Bangladesh. River erosion is a major threat caused by climate change and, it affects the lives of thousands of people every year.
