Bangladesh: Golden Paddy of Gumai Beel by Shaown Chowdhury
Even then the sun's rays did not come. The fog has just begun to move. Dewdrops of rice husks glistening. The dew is falling down while swaying in the gentle wind. The farmer is busy with ‘mocha’ (rice packet) in one hand and sickle in the other hand. Then 8 o'clock in the morning. Rows and rows of farmers have descended on the vast crop fields. They are cutting paddy in groups. As if they don't have time to spend. This scene is from Gumai Beel of Rangunia UpaGumai Beelzila of Chittagong. This bill is surrounded by Vitalya canal, at least 5 canals including Harinyakhal. The tidal water of these canals has saved Gumai Bill. The farmers of these areas came to the bill in the morning. They are accompanied by a group of workers. Now the rice harvesting is in full swing.
