Local farmers blocked the Rajshahi-Chapainawabganj highway in Godagari, Rajshahi, alleging a shortage of DAP fertilizer. They took position on the highway around 4 PM on Monday in the Hatonabad area of the upazila, causing long traffic jams on both sides of the road.
Upon receiving the news, Upazila Nirbahi Officer Israt Jahan, Upazila Agriculture Officer Moriam Ahmed, and Godagari Police Station Officer-in-Charge Sujon Miah rushed to the spot. After assuring the farmers of investigating their complaints and supplying fertilizer according to demand, the farmers withdrew the blockade after about half an hour.
According to local sources, a total of 300 bags of DAP fertilizer were stocked at the BCIC dealer M/S Manik Traders and the adjacent BADC dealer M/S Mosharraf Hossain's establishment in the Hatonabad area. However, as the number of present farmers exceeded the stock, they blocked the road fearing they might not receive fertilizer. Meanwhile, dealer Habibur Rahman claimed there was no fertilizer crisis and alleged that a faction instigated the farmers to block the highway to complicate the situation.
