He was replying to the calling attention motion brought in the State assembly regarding the availability of DAP fertilizer in the State. Mr. Saini said the data regarding the availability of DAP at each Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society (PACS) in the State is available with the government and if any member requires information on this, it will be provided. He assured that there is currently no shortage of DAP in the State.
“Being a farmer’s son, I deeply understand the challenges farmers face regarding the availability of fertilizer. For the month of November, a total of 1,10,200 metric tons of DAP has been allocated. There is no shortage of DAP fertilizer in the State and farmers are intentionally misled by spreading the rumours related to shortage,” he said.
