Mukta Begum's family living by selling vegetables
Sarkar Lutfar Rahman, Palashbari (Gaibandha)
This saying is consistent with Mukta Begum's life and livelihood. Her family lives by selling vegetables every day.
Mukta Begum was seen in front of Palashbari Hope International School and College on Saturday, November 30. When asked, she said that she sells various types of vegetables and green leaves for 200 taka every day. In the morning, I pick green leaves and various vegetables from the fields of the surrounding villages, tie them up, and come to the city in the afternoon and sell them. Some days, it is late to sell, like today. These vegetables are grown here and there without any chemical fertilizers, so many people like them. She earns about 200 taka every day from selling vegetables, and with this money she meets her own expenses.
Mukta Begum's home is in Boyalidah village, Dhaperhat Union, Sadulapur Upazila, Gaibandha district. She travels by autorickshaw about 12 km north of Palashbari. She has a family of one son and a daughter, and she does not have a husband, for whatever reason. Mukta Begum does not have her own house, the place where she lives is her uncle's house.
Mukta Begum also said that she cannot earn much money, she needs a tube well and a latrine at home. When she earns more than 200 taka, she saves the money for medicine! She cannot save money!
Like Mukta Begum, everyone is busy, some for daily food, some for luxury. We are running around with our own thoughts and ideas. Who will come forward to rehabilitate Mukta Begum and provide her with a piece of land, a house, a tube well and a latrine?
