Imphal, April 23 2022:
All Manipur Progressive Farmers' Association (AMPFA) has demanded government authorities to initiate appropriate legal actions against those who tried to smuggle urea into Myanmar from Moreh on April 20 .
In a statement, the association hailed the farmers of Wabagai Mairenbam Leikai for intercepting the smuggled urea (200 bags) and distributing the same to the farmers.
Taking serious note of the incident, the association also sought proactive action by the farmers to check sale of urea in the black market.
Farmers had drawn attention of the chief minister and the agriculture minister into such practices during an interaction programme on April 13, the statement said while demanding the government to keep its words and take up appropriate measures for preventing such illegal practices.
