Demanding timely distribution of fertilisers to farmers, members of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh Manipur Prant staged a sit-in protest in front of Agriculture .Department office, Sanjenthong here on Tuesday.
During the sit-in, the protestors also shouted slogans demanding distribution of fertilisers to farmers while keeping politics aside.
Speaking on the sidelines, Sangh general secretary Telem Dara remarked that the state government has made several mistakes in the distribution process of fertilisers to the farmers.
Although some of the MLAs are following the set norms in distributing the fertilisers, many are not doing so, which is causing massive shortages.
Urging the government to come up with an arrangement to ensure the distribution is carried out as per the rules; Dara cautioned of launching a 24 hour state wide bandh if the government fails to act within the next 3 days.
