| Sukhnandan expresses concern over non-availability of fertilizers | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 7- BJP Kissan Morcha State President and MLA Ch Sukhnandan has stressed upon the government to take immediate and effective steps to make available Kufri Sandhoori variety of Potato seeds, besides MOP and DAP fertilizers to the poor farmers of Jammu region.
In a press statement issued here today Sukhnandan said the sowing season of potatoes will be over in next few days but the farmers of Jammu region are facing acute shortage of fertilizers. He said it is most unfortunate that the farmers who have purchased costly seeds of Kufri Badshah are not in a position to sow them in absence of fertilizers and these seeds will fail to give any produce if not sown in week’s time. He said it is the lack of coordination between Registrar of Co-operative Societies/Controller of Fertilizers and Director Agriculture, which creates such a situation and as a result of which the poor farmers are made to suffer every year.
He demanded round the clock supply of electricity to the farmers so that they can run motors to pump out water and irrigate their fields as and when required besides framing a clear cut policy to ensure availability of good quality seeds and fertilizers at their nearest outlets.
