Imphal, July 24 2021:
The genuine farmers are not getting the urea fertilizers since Ministers/MLAs and those in power have stored the urea fertilizers in their respective residences.
Manipur Loumi Lup made the above statement in a press release and expressed concern that the actual farmers who are in need of such fertilizers are deprived of it since the fertilizers are being piled up by the those concerned for mere political gains in view of the upcoming State Assembly Election.
The Lup further stated that farmers are buying the fertilizers from the local traders at a high rate of Rs 700/800 approximately since the Agriculture offices have stopped providing the fertilizers at subsidized rates fixed by the Government probably due to shortage of fertilizers contrary to the claim made by the Agriculture Minister, O Lukhoi that there will be no shortage of fertilizers.
Therefore Manipur Loumi Lup sought the intervention of the Chief Minister in the matter at the earliest and urge him to help in alleviating the hardships of the farmers and punish all those who are behind such irregularities.
