A.F.M. Asad ullah: This path has gone far away, carrying the glorious memories of the Liberation War. That path is blood red today! Spread by the fresh madness of Krishna Chuda. On this path, there is a slaughterhouse! By touching it, Krishna Chuda has decorated itself even more red.
This is the tree-lined beauty of a special tarred road in Srimangal, the capital of tea. This stretch of road from the slaughterhouse on Bhanugach Road to the BTRI intersection was not like this before. A renowned tree lover came forward to beautify this path. He loves flowers, trees and nature very much.
About ten years ago, the initiative of that tree lover has become famous as one of the places that develop the beauty of Srimangal today. This flower lover’s name is Golam Mohammad Shibli.
A winding, tarred road passes through the middle of the Bhurbhuria tea garden, the outpost of the Bharaura tea garden. This is the Srimangal-Bhanugachh road. From the slaughterhouse 71 to the Bangladesh Tea Research Institute or BTRI point. On both sides of the road, there are large flowering trees of different species one after another. From a distance, a wonderful view of red, yellow, and golden flowers can be seen. Many other species of flowering trees, including Krishnachura, Radhachura, and others.
Rows of these trees display their own beauty in red, yellow, and golden splendor. Pedestrians, tourists, visitors, and nature lovers walking on this path are fascinated by these scenes full of flowers. Some get busy taking pictures. The flowers of various species of trees, including blood red, yellow, and golden, blooming on the trees have created a diverse environment. These flowering trees shine brightly and match themselves in nature. As if nature has painted them in red, yellow, pink, yellow, and golden colors. After Radha Chura and Krishna Chura, the most attractive flower is Cassia Javanica. The bright color of its flowers fascinates flower lovers from far away.
As an ornamental tree, its bright yellow flowers adorn the paths of the tea gardens. The yellow-colored Radha Chura flowers fascinate flower lovers with their radiant beauty. The beauty of Radha Chura flowers is a wonderful creation of nature. It has no equal in decorating nature in a beautiful way. 9/10 years ago, tree lover Golam Mohammad Shibli planted 700-800 trees on his own initiative on both sides of the road in the Bhurbhuria tea garden, including in different places in the tea garden. Since then, he has been planting trees one after another in different places in the tea garden. Those trees are currently coloring nature and enhancing its beauty.
Tree lover Golam Mohammad Shibli is an experienced senior tea planter by profession. He has spent his entire life with tea. He fell in love with nature after being involved in tea gardens by profession. Since then, he has been a close friend of the evergreen nature of Srimangal. He is associated as the chairman of the Sylhet branch of the Bangladesh Tea Society.
He said, I plant trees out of my own love. In 1015-2016, I planted various types of flowering trees such as Krishnachura, Radhachura, Sonalu on both sides of the road. I have also planted another beautiful flowering tree called Cassia Javanica in a special place. These trees have grown slowly, and today they are blooming and showing a different beauty. I implement a tree plantation program every year during the monsoon season. Trees are our greatest friends of nature. Trees are a big part of nature. And if nature is good, we will also be good.
