| Files for issuance of fertilizer pending for past 4 yrs | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Oct 11 : Files of farmers who have applied for fertilizers four years ago are still awaiting sanction in the civil Secretariat, the seat of the Jammu and Kashmir government.
Describing it as an anti-farmer act, Minister for Agriculture Ghulam Hassan Mir has now issued orders that henceforth Chief Agriculture Officer should exercise their powers without approaching Secretariat for issuance of fertilizers to the farmers on spot.
Official sources said here today that Mr Mir during the records checking was surprised to detect 250 files of farmers who have applied for fertilizers pending in the Secretariat, for want of decision for the last four years.
''It is unfortunate that the files are pending in the Secretariat,'' Mr Mir said after he came to know that four years ago farmers had applied for fertilizers quota in their favour for the period required as per season’s requirement.
However, because of the centralisation, concerned Chief Agriculture Officers had sent the cases to the Secretariat where the cases were submitted to the concerned secretary and the Minister some four to five years ago and still the decisions were awaited. He said it was an anti-farmer act whereunder farmer was made to suffer and approach Secretariat for petty issue.
The persons responsible for this abnormal delay in keeping 250 files pending during the last four years will be identified and law will take its own course while dealing with such people, he added.
