Kakching, July 18 2021:
Joint Non-Government Voluntary Organisation (JNGVO) Kakching has opined that the distribution process of urea in Kakching district is in all likelihood going to spread Covid-19 .
In a release, JNGVO publicity secretary Romesh Noarem stated that farmers are in desperate need of the urea that they are queuing up from midnight in front of Kakching Lamdong warehouse (godown) to procure a single bag of the essential agricultural supplement.
Though the government asked the people not to gather in large number so as to check spread of Covid-19, in case of farmers the directive seems indigestible, it noted.
JNGVO pointed out that farmers are in urgent need to get the urea as its timely application will ensure healthy yield of the paddy crop.
As such, they are compelled to line up for the urea in-spite of being fully aware about the high risk of contracting the infectious Covid-19, the organisation reasoned and asked the government to streamline the distribution mechanism by decentralising the system of provision of urea at the earliest.
