Imphal, June 21 2013 :
All Manipur Fertiliser Dealers Welfare Association (AMFDWA) has asserted that the State government's arrangement for buffer stock of fertiliser is only a ploy to make money for themselves.
If the state government does not provide subsidy, the cost of one bag of urea would reach Rs 524 at the department and Rs 480 at the dealers.
Besides, there is no uniformity in giving subsidy; the whole arrangement is to drain off public money.
The weight of a urea bag provided by dealer is exactly 50 Kg while that provided by the government is in the range of 25-40Kgs bag, Y Madhuchandra Singh, Secretary of AMFDWA asserted in a statement.
