Kazi Arifujjaman - Chatal life
Description:
Proper drying is essential for producing high-quality rice. Raw paddy is not suitable for cooking, so it is dried on concrete yards to reduce moisture. The concrete surface absorbs more heat, speeding up the drying process and preventing contamination. This image depicts a chatal where workers are engaged in drying paddy. This process ensures that paddy is properly dried before being converted into rice, the staple food of Bangladesh. Every day, workers put in hard labor, playing a crucial role in food security. Modern facilities can improve their working conditions and overall livelihood. Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh
