Bhashan Char Island

Bhasan Char also known as Char Piya, is an island in Hatiya, Bangladesh.
Located near the mouth of the river Meghna where it flows into the Bay of Bengal, Bhasan Char surfaced only in 2006 from the sediment deposited by the river.
It is underwater from June to September annually because of the monsoon, and it has no flood fences.
Bangladesh has shifted 18,000 out of a planned 1,00,000 refugees to the low-lying silt island of Bhashan Char from the Cox’s Bazar region.
