Kakching, July 02 2020:
The Joint Non-Government Voluntary Organisation, Kakching along with farmers of the district will protest at the highway defying COVID-19 protocol from July 6 if the authorities concerned don't take necessary actions to provide fertilizers at Kakching district, said president of the organisation Ksh Biren.
It may be noted that the organisation had submitted representations to the Agriculture Minister, Chief Secretary and related authorities to provide fertilizers earlier on June 16.However, the fertilizers are not easily available still at Kakching district and the farmers have to go 40 or 50 kms to Imphal amidst COVID-19 induced lockdown/curfew to procure the fertilizers at non-subsidized rate.
Meanwhile, the organisation also appealed Sekmai Barrage authority to provide irrigational water to Kakching Wairi Loukol in time.
