Boro cultivation in the area of ​​about 400 bighas of the area has become uncertain due to not providing electricity to a Deep tube in Khaspara village of Dhanbari municipality of Tangail. The farmers of this area are frustrated with Boro cultivation.

It is learned that necessary arrangements have been made to irrigate about 400 bigha of agricultural land under the IDP project of Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC) in the year 2014-2015 fiscal year by JL-44 and 1787 at Kisamat Mouza in Khaspara village of Dhanbari Upazila Sadar. Without the power connection, the complete tube-well tube (No.-27) was completed with all the related projects related to the project. At the local office of the Rural Electrification Board, it was requested to connect with the electricity as soon as possible. The authorities surveyed the area. But due to lack of electricity, farmers are unable to plant transplant Aman and Boro rice due to lack of irrigation.

Farmers of Khashpara village Majibur Rahman, Abdul Aziz, Mozammel Hossain, Abdul Barek, Shukur Ali, Abul Hossain, Abdul Halim and many others said that all activities were done for cultivation of agricultural land in BADC project. But due to lack of irrigation they are unable to plant rice seedlings due to lack of electricity. They demanded to provide about 400 bighas of agricultural land in the area of ​​deep tube-well electricity connection.

Khaspara Irrigation Project Manager Abdul Hai Pramonik said that all arrangements for IDP’s khaspara irrigation project have been completed under the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC). For the time being, an application has also been made to the rural electrification board for electricity connection. Do not get a connection to the power connection again and again.

Regarding electricity connection, Dhanbari Rural Electricity Sub-Zonal office’s AGM Abdus Sobur said, new connections to irrigation and industrial factories have been discontinued due to overloaded up to 33 kb from Jamalpur to Dhanbari. Due to the same problem, the power connection can not be given to the deep tube well of the Khaspara project.
