JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir BJP Kissan Morcha President Rakesh Pant today voiced serious concern over the acute scarcity of urea fertilizer in the Jammu division, terming it a matter of grave distress for the farming community. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, Rakesh Pant said that farmers are running from pillar to post in search of urea, which is urgently required for their standing paddy crops.
Pant was accompanied by Dalbir Singh Pawar, District President Kissan Morcha Akhnoor, and farmer leader Sunil Dutt Sharma. He said that the crisis has created a sense of fear among cultivators who are worried about heavy crop losses if timely fertilizer is not made available. “The application of urea in paddy fields cannot be delayed. Even a few days’ gap at this crucial stage can seriously impact the yield,” Pant stressed.
The Kisan Morcha President urged the Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory administration to take immediate cognizance of the issue. He appealed to the concerned departments to ensure adequate and uninterrupted supply of urea across the division so that farmers are not pushed towards distress. “It is the duty of the government to understand the plight of our farmers and act swiftly to prevent the looming crisis,” he added.
Pant also issued a strong caution to insurance agencies and banks that continue to deduct premium installments automatically from the accounts of farmers but fail to deliver compensation when crops are damaged. He demanded accountability and transparency in the crop insurance system to safeguard farmers’ interests. Expressing hope that the government will not remain a mute spectator, Pant said the BJP Kisan Morcha stands firmly with the farmers of Jammu division and will continue to raise their voice until concrete steps are taken to resolve the crisis.
