Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Government is doing best to make arrangements of fertilisers and also getting full co-operation of the Government of India in this regard. “No need to worry, just be patient this is my request. Yesterday, I had informed the farmers that by October 31, rakes would be delivered in the State. Now instead of 31, total 32 rakes are coming in the State. “I am in constant touch with the Government of India. Even today, I have discussed over phone with the Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers, Mansukh Mandaviya regarding the supply”, he said. Chouhan has assured that Madhya Pradesh will get urea and DAP as per requirement for November,” he said.

He was reviewing the status of availability of fertilisers in the state from his residence. It was informed in the meeting that, 6 lakh metric tonnes of urea and 6 lakh metric tonnes of DAP have been released for the month of November for the state by the centre. Hence, there will be no shortage of manure in the State. He said that farmers should leave the mentality of manure shortage. This results in a tendency to buy more manure. Adequate manure is being supplied by the Central Government in November.

He said that supply of fertilisers and equitable distribution of fertilisers in the districts should be continuously monitored by a control room.

Those who are buying more fertilisers than necessary, should be kept under watch. Collectors should make people aware about the supply of fertilisers and the arrangements being made by the state government at their level.

He said that strict instructions have been issued to the district administration that those who do black-marketing of fertilisers will be sent to jail under National Security Act (NSA).

Those selling manure in black would be washed out.
