Ducks swim in rafts through water in Chalan Beel under Singra upazila of Natore district. Duck rearing in the villages around this waterbody, spanning over 11 upazilas across Pabna, Rajshahi, Naogaon and Bogura, has become a boon for the farmers, homemakers, and unemployed young people. The cost of raising ducks there is almost negligible, as the farmers can release their ducks in the beel in the daytime, where they roam and feed naturally. This advantage has made many families opt to run a farm in Chalan Beel area.
