Former MLA of Patsoi Assembly Constituency, Sapam Kunjakishore@ Keba provided urea fertilizers to the farmers in the constituency at subsidized rates for the third time.
The fertilizers were distributed to the farmers at a simple ceremony held at his residence at Tera Sapam Leirak today.
Speaking on the occasion, S Keba said that he took up the initiative of providing fertilizers to the farmers at low rates considering the hardships faced by the farmers due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the problems of scanty rainfall this season.
Such an initiative is in the interest of the farmers and not to gain political benefits, he added.
