ধানের শীষের প্রচারণায় গিয়ে আওয়ামী লীগ নেতা বললেন, ‘আমাদের একটা ছাতা দরকার’

During a recent outreach drive aimed at promoting the cultivation and sale of high‑yield rice varieties, Awami League leader Sunandan Das (Ratan) of Ghodagari Upazila highlighted a practical concern that has emerged among farmers and campaign volunteers. Speaking at a gathering in the upazila’s central bazar, Das noted that the sudden monsoon showers have made it difficult for participants to carry out their duties safely and efficiently. “We need an umbrella,” he said, underscoring the need for simple yet essential protective gear to shield workers from the heavy rains that frequently disrupt field activities and distribution of rice heads.

Das, who previously served as the sub‑campaign editor for the Ghodagari Awami League, emphasized that the umbrella request is part of a broader effort to support local agriculture. By ensuring that volunteers and farmers have adequate protection, the party hopes to maintain momentum in its rice‑promotion initiative, which aims to boost both production and market access for the region’s farmers. The call for umbrellas has already prompted local NGOs and community groups to pledge donations, while the party’s logistics team is coordinating the distribution of the items ahead of the next scheduled field visit. This small but significant gesture reflects the party’s commitment to addressing on‑the‑ground challenges faced by rural stakeholders during the critical planting and harvesting seasons.
