It has been raining in Kishoreganj for the past few days. Sometimes intermittent, sometimes continuous heavy rains. In this, people have to learn to do their normal work in irony. To step outside the house, you have to take an umbrella first. If the umbrella leaks or breaks during use, it is a problem. And to get rid of this hazard, everyone rushes to the umbrella repairman. As a result, the value of umbrella repair workers has increased.
Umbrellas are needed both during very sunny weather and rain. That is why seasonal artisans also sit on the roadside. In all the upazilas of Kishoreganj, many people have retained this traditional profession. They sit once a week on market days. But if it rains heavily, they come to the market every day.
On Thursday (September 26) the traditional haat of Katiadi upazila can be seen on the surface, 10 to 15 umbrella artisans are sitting. Every craftsman is having a busy time repairing umbrellas. The artisans said that this is their extra income.
Umbrella craftsman Abdul Mannan said, this profession is my 50 years. Apart from agricultural work, I go to market once a week. Now the umbrella is destroyed in a short time before there was a strong umbrella. An umbrella was used by people for a long time.
Mana Mia, another craftsman, told Barta24.com that this is my seasonal job. Come one day a week. All acquaintances come to the market to fix umbrellas on this day. If rain increases, our income increases.
Jasimuddin, who came to repair the umbrella, said that we always need umbrellas. There is no way to escape from the heat of the sun and if it rains, there is no way without an umbrella. So I am bringing the necessary umbrella to be repaired.
