Imphal, July 23 2013:
Highlighting the problem of unavailability of fertilisers at the villages where the farmers live and work, All Manipur Progressive Farmers' Association (AMPFA) and Lairenshajik Social Welfare Youth Club (LSWYC) have appealed to the concerned department to ensure that farmers in the remote parts of the state could get fertilisers during these needy days of cultivation.
In separate statements, AMPFA and LSWYC pointd out that unlike previous years, farmers in remote areas are having a hard time in trying to obtain fertilisers.
Godowns in the district headquarters, from where fertilisers are being provided at subsidized price are found always closed.
But the workers of MLAs and Ministers are carrying away fertilisers in full load, Premjit Warepam, Secretary of LSWYC said in a release.
