Golam Mostafa, Tarash: Boro farmers are threshing paddy on salo machine driven engine on most of the rural roads and regional roads in Sirajganj. Meanwhile, pedestrians fell into extreme suffering as a result of obstruction on the road.

A young man named Ujjal Hossain said he was riding his motorcycle on the Tarash-Magura Binod rural road on Monday. He has to read in distress to thresh paddy on the way. He was repeatedly honking his horn and shouting at the agricultural workers. But they were not listening to the loud sound of the threshing mill. Finally get off the motorcycle and go to them. Then the agricultural workers stopped for a while and crossed the road. Or the whole body is smeared with rice dust and small pieces of straw. It also enters the eyes. Not only that,

Another victim was Sohag Hasan. He was riding a motorcycle at night along the Tarash-Katagari regional road. But he did not notice that the paddy was threshed and straw was collected on the road. His motorcycle fell on the haystack and caused an accident.

Boro farmer Sajedur Rahman of Magura Binod village said they have agricultural land in a vast field far away from the village.

It is not possible for agricultural workers to cut paddy from such a distance and bring it to their backyards on their heads or shoulders. Being helpless, he has to thresh paddy on the road.

On the spot, the farmers went to various places on the Tarash-Magura rural road, Baruhas-Kusumbi rural road, Dhopagari-Bastul rural road, Tarash-Ranihat regional road, Tarash-Khalkula regional road and Tarash-Mahishluti regional road. In doing so, some did not leave even the slightest space for pedestrians to travel. He gave a threshing mill on one side of the road, straw on the other side and paddy in the middle.

Upazila Agriculture Officer Lutfunnahar Luna advised the boro farmers to keep the paddy field fallow instead of cultivating it in the vast field.
