Imphal, July 16 2021:
State Executive member of BJP Manipur, Soraisam Ongbi Kebi started distributing urea fertilizers for free of cost to farmers of Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency today.
The urea fertilizers were distributed to the farmers in a simple ceremony held at Chumthang Shannapung at Langthabal Lep Makha Leikai today.
For the first phase, S Kebi distributed one bag of urea fertilizers each to farmers of Langthabal Lep and Langthabal Phuramakhong.
Speaking on the occasion, S Kebi said that the fertilizers are distributed to the farmers to help in alleviating the problems faced by them amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and shortage of water in paddy fields due to scanty rainfall this season.
She maintained that she helped the farmers for pumping waters in the fields earlier as well.
Stating that th State Government is providing fertilizers to the farmers at subsidized rates, S Kebi expressed concern that the farmers are facing problems to procure the fertilizers in the absence of an MLA for Naoriya Pakhanglakpa AC.
Thus after consulting with the officials concerned of Agriculture Department, she procured 1000 (one thousand) bags of fertilizers after depositing the required amount and the fertilizers are being distributed to the farmers for free, she added.
She continued that steps have been taken to distribute fertilizers to farmers of other areas of Naoriya Pakhanglakpa AC soon.
She appealed to the farmers to use the fertilizers to produce good quality of produce and to let her know of further requirements if any through the local youth clubs.
