barishal office :: Golam Mustafa, workshop master of Chaumuhani Bazar, Bisharkandi Union, Banaripara Upazila, Barisal District. Golam Mustafa spent more than 2 years without any academic knowledge in engineering to create a novel vehicle. Which looks a lot like an airplane but this airplane moves not in the air or on the water. Although it looks like a plane from a distance, it is actually a leisure boat.Subarna Express-2 was named after his younger daughter. Its beauty increases several times due to the presence of different lights including red and blue during the night movement than during the day.
Golam Mustafa’s friendship with Loha-Lakkar is about 30 to 32 years. With what he has learned while working in the workshop, he creates something new in his own way when he gets into the traditional work of this blacksmith of Ajopara village. Sometimes for farmers, sometimes for jailers, sometimes for pleasure trips. However, when he started making airplanes, he was criticized by various people, but now he is floating in praise by creating a stir in the area.
He is known as Mustafa Fitter or Finder rather than Golam Mustafa in Bisharkandi. A skilled engine mechanic is called a fitter or finder. Many people call him master. Small scientist Golam Mostafa told Chandradwip News, I was standing on the bank of the river one night when a plane was flying from the sky. The next day I will plan and build an airplane. We are village people. I couldn’t get on the plane if I wanted to. Traveling by plane is expensive.A lot of money is needed. Where will I get so much money? which will run in the river. I could ride by myself with my family and people would say that the plane is coming. Made it on a whim.
He said, once I used to work in someone else’s workshop. Now I have my own workshop in Chaumuhani market of my village. If there is no work pressure, I make something according to my mind with steel or iron. I made a steel plow earlier. Generally the farmers are in need of good and strong plough. Moreover, the wooden plow has to be replaced every year. Steel plows are durable. Being sharp, it is easy to plow the land deeply.
Golam Mostafa told Chandradwip News that boats are still a popular means of transport as our southern region is a major river. But it is seen that most of the boats are destroyed within a few years. If the boat has an iron body instead of a wooden body, it can be used for a long time. With this in mind, I also made iron boats.
He said that in many areas, ordinary tractors cannot cultivate paddy fields due to high water levels. If the cultivation is not done at the right time, the harvest is also delayed. Good crops are not available. Thinking of the lowlands I made the floating tractor. We make the plane of the river in its continuation.In the year 2022, the thought comes to mind, what will it be like to make a plane. But it is not possible for me to make a plane that can fly in the sky. As an alternative, we plan to build an airplane in the water world, excluding the air world. After working little by little for about 2 years, I finished the work of the plane.
At first, people used to ask a lot of questions, what are you making? . The people of the village used to talk a lot, but people could not understand what was really happening until they were done, then everyone liked it when they put it in the water. 2 lakh 70 thousand rupees have been spent to make the aircraft. I think with the right sponsorship I can invent more sustainable vehicles that benefit people.
Golam Mustafar aircraft has 24-hour navigation capability with 18 passengers and a maximum speed of 16 kilometers per hour. He is driving this engine-driven vehicle himself till now. At present it is used for transporting visitors and serving various people of the area.
Regarding the issue of the plane, Md. Chunna Haulder told Chandradwip News, Golam Mostafa Bhai’s plane is a very beautiful plane, I have never seen it anywhere else. Although I haven’t boarded this plane yet, people who have boarded it say it is very fast. He has been serving people since childhood.He has various experiences where a ship doubles, Neika doubles under water before sinking without a machine and now with his skill he has made a special machine to rescue it. Apart from this, he is the poet of the village.
A young man named Md Ilyas of Bisharkandi Union’s Chaumuhani Bazar told Chandradwip News, “We are very happy to see the plane. We like it very much.” Such a plane is being built in our village. We have never boarded a plane with money, but Gholam Mustafa Bhai’s plane without money is creating a lot of excitement in the area.
Another young man named Mehdi Hachan Shanto told Chandradwip News that the plane is very beautiful, it looks like a real sky plane, and it moves very fast on water. Many people are constantly flocking to see this plane, thinking that it is the same as an airplane in the sky, and some are taking pictures. A visa ticket is required to board an air plane and nothing is required in this plane.
Abdul Malek Howladar of Choumuhani Bazar told Chandradwip News, Golam Mostafa Bhai is the son of our village. He is involved in all the social activities of the society. People like him are unmatched in our village. He sometimes rescues something lost or drowned in the water.He has created new technology at different times to create excitement in the area by making airplanes in the water and is floating in the praise of all. We hope that poor Golam Mustafa will be interested in doing something new if his technologies get government or proprietary sponsorship.
Jihadul Islam, a student who came to see Golam Mustafa’s plane, told Jihad Chandradwip News, I am studying science in class 12, Golam Mostafa’s uncle in our village makes new technology from time to time, which we like very much. I have always wanted to make new inventions since childhood. I came to see his plane today, got on the plane and took pictures, it was very good and creating this technology inspires us to do something new.
Barisal University Science and Technology Associate Professor Engineer Dr. Md. Shafiul Alam told Chandradwip News that the iron boat made by Golam Mustafa, the floating tractor, the current water plane, all the technologies are certainly admirable. We have learned about him and if there is anything good to know about technology, we will work on it.
Golam Mustafa’s son Md. Mehdi Hachan told Chandradwip News, people are coming to see the plane now, there was a time when we went to build it, they were laughing a lot, they said why is it pretending, what will happen with it, the money behind it will fail. Waiting for their laughter, today we have come to the end. Now it is being discussed and criticized. Those people are now cheering.In this regard, Barisal District Commissioner Md. Shahidul Islam told Chandradwip News that Gholam Mostafa is making things from a poor family which is really unbelievable. We will talk to him about this very soon and he can develop agricultural technology or other technology and he will be given loans from the government.
