Dharamsala, January 11

Farmers in Kangra district are facing a shortage of urea fertiliser. Congress workers, led by HPCC general secretary Kewal Singh Pathania, submitted a memorandum to the district administration, alleging that the framers of Kangra district were not getting urea fertiliser.

Pathania said that the demand for the fertiliser had increased in Kangra after recent rainfall. Farmers, who grow wheat, were requisitioning it from societies that used to supply it to them. However, at most of the places, the farmers were not getting the required amount of fertiliser, he added.

Pathania alleged, “Last year also the farmers of the district had faced a shortage of urea fertiliser but the government did nothing to help them. We have written to the Chief Minister to help the farmers get fertiliser or Congress workers will hold a protest”. —
