Chandigarh, July 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haryana Agriculture and Farmers\u2019 Welfare Minister, Sh. Shyam Singh Rana said that both the Central and State governments are committed to farmers’ welfare and efforts are being made to ensure that farmers do not face any shortage of fertilisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sh. Shyam Singh Rana was interacting with the media in Yamunanagar today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that he regularly interacts with farmers and wherever there is a need for fertilisers, he immediately directs administrative officers to make the supply available. At present, there is no shortage of fertilisers in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sh. Rana said that DAP fertiliser is imported from abroad and is being delivered daily via train to various districts of Haryana, along with urea fertilizer. In view of the demand, societies and private dealers are also required to keep a stock of fertilisers so that farmers can easily access them when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further said that on July 16, a train carrying DAP arrived in Rohtak, and from there, fertiliser is being distributed to Jhajjar, Palwal, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Mewat. Similarly, on July 17, fertiliser will reach Hisar and be supplied to Fatehabad, Bhiwani, and Sirsa, and on July 18, it will be sent to Karnal, Panipat, Sonipat, Yamunanagar, Ambala, and Kurukshetra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haryana’s Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister said that earlier the government used to allocate 40 percent of the fertiliser stock to society while 60 percent went to private fertilizer agencies. However, the government has now increased the society share to 50 percent so that farmers in villages can get fertiliser nearby without having to travel far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also said that if a farmer purchases fertiliser from a society and returns the payment within six months, no interest will be charged on that amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While responding to a question regarding black marketing of fertilisers, Sh.Rana said the government keeps a close watch, and strict action is taken against anyone found involved in such practices. Fertiliser sales will soon be available online, allowing farmers to order fertilisers from anywhere. The fertiliser will be provided based on the land details submitted by the farmer on the portal, he added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
