Construction of 300-metre road to change Lalmai Hill land

Construction of 300-metre road to change Lalmai Hill land

Zakir Azad, Cumilla

Lalmai Hills of Cumilla . If a 300- meter road is built here, hundreds of acres of mountain land will be filled with fruit crops. Hundreds of farmers will smile. This hill is located next to Kotbari Rupban Mura of Cumilla Sadar Dakshin Upazila.

According to local sources, various fruit crops including malta, banana, papaya, lemon, cashew nut, coffee are smiling here on the hills and slopes. However, there is no way to take these crops to the market. To the east of this crop field is the Bangladesh Rural Development Academy Bard, to the west is an institution, to the north is the enclosure of the Department of Archaeology. To the south is a footpath through farmland, hills and houses. However, in this way, one has to travel several kilometers with crops on head and shoulders.

It can be seen on the surface, the farmer Abul Kalam Azad has picked lemons from his land. Throwing that lemon bird under the boundary wall to the other side. Another person is taking it from there. Apart from that, his associates are carrying bananas on their shoulders. They stopped as the gate of Roopban Mura was closed. Later he crossed the banana over the wall.
Farmer Abul Kalam Azad said, labor costs are high due to lack of roads. The workers also do not want to come because it is hard work.

The gates of Roopban Mura are also not open all the time. It will be difficult to take our crops to the market. If we get a passage of 300 meters along Roopban Mura, we can easily take agricultural products. Farmer Mohr Ali said, there are more than two hundred farmers here. Our costs are high in transit. It reduces our profit.

Agriculture Extension Directorate Cumilla Deputy Director Agriculturist Md. Mizanur Rahman and Upazila Agriculture Officer Habibul Bashar Chowdhury said, We have visited the lands of this part of Lalmai Hill. Many fruits are produced here. If there is a road, more production will increase in this hill.

Nirbahi Officer of Sadar Dakshin Upazila Subhashis Ghosh said, Honorable Prime Minister has given importance to agriculture. We will also take a serious look at the issue of farmers' roads. I will talk to the authorities concerned about it.
