Baneshwar Bazar in Puthia upazila of Rajshahi is a major business center in the northern part of the country. From here, agricultural products travel throughout the country. This market had its own weight. Mango was weighed at 40kg across the country, but it was weighed at 48kg at the Baneshwar market. 42 kg of onion and 41 kg of garlic.
The traders in this market take more than 40 kg at the price of one gram, they have called it ‘Dhalon’. According to market regulations, the farmer is obliged to pay the “pending”. At a meeting on Friday, the local administration canceled the merchants’ ‘pending system’. As a result, the weight of the mango in this market will no longer be 48 kg. Traders explained to farmers for so long that the weight of agricultural products is reduced later. That’s why we have to give it this ‘pending’. Therefore, this slope system has been working in Baneshwar market for a long time. The farmers were suffering.
The new decision was made at an exchange meeting of local merchants, farmers, village representatives and administration officials at the Baneshwar Bazar Banik Samiti office on Friday morning. Deputy Munsur Rahman from Rajshahi-5 (Puthia-Durgapur) was the main guest to the meeting, special guests were Upazila General Manager Hira Bachchu, Upazila Nirbahi (UN) Officer Nurul Hai Mohammad Anas, Deputy Commissioner of Upazila (lands) Rumana Afroz and the agriculture officer of Upazila. Shamsun Nahar Bhuiyan. Baneshwar Union Parishad (UP) President Gazi Sultan chaired the function. Local farmers and traders were also present at the meeting.
