Save potato growers

We came to know from the media reports that the unfortunate potato growers of the northern region voiced their resentments by littering the busy roads with potatoes, because they were not getting fair price for their produces. It is an irony that we have to buy potatoes at high price here in Dhaka but the poor farmers have to sell their produces at low prices. In the process, only the middlemen are making profits. The government turns a blind eye to this fact. I urge the government to take steps to ease the sufferings of potato growers by ensuring that they get proper price for their produces.
