Lalbarra | Balaghat, Balaghat district Sarpanch Association's District Secretary and Advocate Young Sarpanch Anand Bisen of Gram Panchayat Kanjai of Lalbarra Block issued a press release and said that in our Balaghat district, which is called the rice bowl, the work of paddy transplantation (Parha) in the farmers' fields is progressing at a rapid pace these days, where the farmers themselves and their entire family including their laborers are engaged in paddy transplantation work with full hard work in this rainy season. While the paddy transplantation work of some village farmers has been completed, the work of some farmers is half done and half is remaining, while some farmers have just started a day or two ago. When farmers need fertilizers to get good yield of their crops, the farmer puts fertilizers in his field, where at this time farmers are facing shortage of fertilizers in cooperative societies. Due to which farmers are upset and worried, farmers are forced to buy fake fertilizers from private agricultural centers. This problem persists in the entire district including Lalbarra development block area. In the interest of farmers, District Sarpanch Association Secretary Advocate Anand Bisen has demanded from the district administration that the district administration should provide sufficient quantity of DAP and urea fertilizers to all societies for the crop of farmers as soon as possible, otherwise if the fertilizers are not available in sufficient quantity in all the centers on time, Advocate Anand Bisen can protest on the road to carry out a fierce movement with the farmers. At the same time, the District Sarpanch Association Secretary has accused the ruling party of cheating the farmers, where Mr. Bisen further said that during the campaign for the assembly elections, the ruling party had promised in its manifesto to give the farmers a support price of Rs. 3100 for paddy and Rs. 2700 for wheat, but by going back on its promise, it has cheated the farmers and deceived them, which is not in the interest of the farmers, the government should take action on this in the interest of the farmers regarding the price hike soon and should do what it has said.
