Imphal, December 06 2023:
Yelhoumee Kanba Lup (YKL) distributed winter crop seeds to farmers of Lamsang assembly constituency, Konthoujam AC and Patsoi AC at Moidangpok Khunou community hall on Wednesday.
Speaking at the programme, YKL president Angom Loken informed that the seeds have been distributed with an aim to encourage growing of vegetables in agriculture lands left fallow after harvest of paddy crop.
He also urged the government to implement a scheme for tapping ground water for irrigation, so that water is readily available for cultivation of winter crops.
A Loken further mentioned that the organisation aims to facilitate farming of vegetables in almost 60 'Pari' of agricultural fields, which remain in barren state after paddy crop farming, in the next year too.
