Keep Alive Floating Guava Market In Bangladesh

Last year 2018 I have visited floating market in Atghar, Kuriana barishal Bangladesh. The whole locality depends on this market . specially they grow guava there. The peak time of the season remains at best three months and that particular time many people around the country visits there. But it’s very alarming for us that when the guava fails down to grow in the end, people become very anxious and to get the taste of it they start violating the nature. They torn up the trees and get into the deep ile of the field and usually make it dust. Its a very natural place and it takes a very short distance to the market from the main land. But excessive use of diesel motor based water vehicle makes the water and the air polluted and it makes acute noise that hamper the birds and wild life.

Here they have available manually hand driven water boat and it takes not more than an hour to reach there by it. So I don’t want people to hire diesel motor water vehicle to reach this market and not to be Exaggerated by personal desire that can hamper our precious natural gift .

So as a local guide I share my experience and all the procedure to make it a best trip keeping the Eco system perfectly alive.
