This haor is not just a water body or a place for raising, conserving and catching fish. This is a mother fisherman. Hijal Karach's vision has made this haor enchanting. Apart from this, there are more than two hundred species of plants including reed, milkweed, blue water lily, watermelon, shola, helancha, asparagus, shitalpati, swarnalata, banatulsi etc. in this area.
