Imphal, August 30 2013 :
Taking into account hardships being faced by the farmers to purchase fertilizers, Saikul assembly constituency MLA Yamthong Haokip today handed over 1200 urea bags at subsidised rate at a simple function held at his Mantripukhri residence.
In his brief address to the beneficiary farmers, the MLA conceded that some of the farmers within Saikul AC may feel remorse for the requirement of fertilizer is far more than the 1200 bags distributed today.
Informing that there are over 250 villages under the assembly segment with most of the people involved in agricultural activities, Yamthong also drew the attention of the Agriculture Minister to provide atleast 6000 bags so as to enable the farmers enjoy fruit of their hard toil in the fields.
The fertilizers were handed over to the farmers at the rate of Rs 320 per bag.
