Imphal, August 20 2022:
Highlighting the problems faced by farmers due to shortage of urea when it is most needed in the paddy field, Ithai Farmers' Association, Ithai Khunou has demanded the government to make urea available to the farmers of Ithai area at the earliest without fail.
In a release, Association secretary Karam Gyaneshwor urged to cease the practice of distributing urea through the local MLA, agriculture officer and dealer saying that such a policy is causing inconveniences to farmers while visiting the different places of distribution.
It made them more furious if farmers did not get fertilizers even after wasting their time, money and energy.
The farmers do not want to launch protest over fertilizers and the government should not compel farmers to launch protest, he cautioned.
Gyaneshwor also urged all concerned to ensure distribution of urea in time through EO of the circle, which is under District Agriculture Officer (DAO) by discussing with the farmers of the area.
