A technical assessment and not farmers should decide location of all-weather road

Jan 28, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

A technical assessment decides on the location of road at No. 58 or 52 village and not farmers. It is not appropriate for the rice farmers and cattle farmers to decide where the all-weather road should be located, but a professional, technical assessment is required.
In the interim, 1) the use of the dam will be used by rice farmers, cattle farmers and vegetable farmers; 2) soil testing is required because heavy vehicles with paddy will be travelling – I am from 52/74 district and I think that the 52 damn is a more sandy loam, which might be more appropriate, but soil testing will decide compaction to a 95% modified proctor density; 3) type of drainage, water level and velocity to avoid erosion, soil lateral shear, etc; 4) Evaluate the distancing of cattle and rice cultivation by appropriate width and depth of water separation; 5) Length and location of bridge crossing to facilitate both rice and cattle farmers, whether piles are required; 6) type and capacity of subdams to the bridge; 7) policing design to prevent overloading on dams etc. Get the terms of reference and the appropriate technical minds.

Yours truly,
Joe Persaud (Canada)
