Imphal, April 16 2022:
CPI Manipur State Council has urged the state government to purchase/procure the agriculture yield from the farmers directly so as to help alleviate their suffering.
In a statement released by CPI Manipur State Council assistant secretary M Joykumar, the party remarked that majority of the farmers in the state are in difficult situations and the government seems to be ignorant about it.
As such, he urged the state government to purchase/procure the agriculture yield from the farmers directly as done by the respective governments of Punjab and Telangana, thereby alleviating some of the suffering and burden of the farmers.
The party also urged for stockpiling the necessary urea quantity to prevent any shortage, along with providing urea to untested arable lands and setting up mobile testing centres at suitable locations.
