JAMMU: The Enforcement Wing of the Department of Agriculture today conducted a joint inspection in the R.S. Pura Subdivision particularly in the Arnia area. The inspection team was led by Assistant Director Law Enforcement Jammu Kuldeep Singh, accompanied by Sub-Divisional Agriculture Officer R.S. Pura, Arun Jaral, Subject Matter Specialists Dheeraj Khajuria and Rahul Sawhney and Law Enforcement Inspector Jammu, Nazish Altaf.
The inspection was initiated following complaints from various firms regarding overcharging of fertilizers and the forcible sale of Nano Urea and Nano DAP along with other fertilizers. The team carried out surprise checks at multiple agri-input units and closely monitored the ongoing situation. During the inspection, dealers were cautioned against violating the provisions of the Fertilizer Control Order, Seed Act and Insecticide Act.
They were instructed to desist from any forcible sale of Nano Urea or Nano DAP to farmers and to ensure that fertilizers are sold strictly at approved rates. Notices were served to the violators, granting them a reasonable period to rectify their deficiencies, failing which recommendations for cancellation of licenses would be made to the competent authority.
A number of farmers present at the agri-input units during the inspection were assured by the enforcement team that no coercive sale practices would be tolerated. Simultaneously, the department demonstrated the benefits of Nano Urea and Nano DAP to encourage voluntary adoption of these innovative products among farmers.
