Kakching, July 01 2022:
Chandel MLA Ss Olish on Friday started distribution of urea to the farmers of her constituency at the government fixed fate during a programme held at Mantripantha, Chandel district headquarters.
The programme was also attended by Chandel deputy commissioner Mayanglambam Rajkumar, SP Hemant Pandey, district agriculture officer Gladney Monsang and ADM Md Firoz Ahamad, among others.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Olish informed that she has facilitated the distribution considering the problems faced by farmers in the district in availing urea from Agriculture Department's warehouse.
She mentioned that five trucks loaded with 200 bags of urea each were procured on Friday while on Saturday eight more truck loads will be distributed in all parts of the AC.
Noting that due to Chandel district's close proximity to Myanmar there is apprehension that urea consignment could be sold off in the black market, the Chandel MLA said that keeping this apprehension in mind, the urea bags have been provided to only genuine farmers after close scrutiny.
