Kathmandu, June 13: The Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has asked to provide chemical fertilizers to farmers on time.  

In today’s meeting of the House of Representatives, chief Whip Santosh Pariyar drew the government’s attention to the situation where the government assures of having enough chemical fertilizers but farmers are not even getting  10 kilograms of it. 

Saying that even though it is assured that there are enough fertilizers, the situation is quite contrasting as its scarcity is observed in the market, he said that the government needs to provide fertilizers to farmers promptly. he further pointed out that however, any kind of amount of fertilizers can be bought in the black market. 

He said, “The government said that there is no scarcity of fertilizers but the farmers of Bhaktapur do not get more than 10 kilograms of it. The land of Naya Thimi and Bode area of Bhaktapur is highly cultivable. On the one hand, the government assures of having enough fertilizers on the other hand, scarcity is observed in the market. Therefore, I want to draw special attention to this issue.”
