In problem 2 Maximum Area editorial, it is written that we have to run N multisource Dijkstra from every column. I didn't understand this. How can we consider an entire column as a single source.

    Add another node and connect it to those vertices inside the column with an edge cost of zero and do dijkstra from this node (OR) simply push all those vertices belonging to that column into a priority queue directly both are same .

      So that means we are ignoring the weights within the column. Right?

        we are assign those edge cost's as zero, google for multisource bfs and you will get that idea.
