Allotment of fertilizer not halted: Centre

SHILLONG: Union Minister of State for Agriculture, Mohanbhai Kalyanjibhai Kundariya has denied that the Centre has stopped allocating fertilizer to states.
Speaking to media persons on the sideline of the launching of the three social security schemes, Kundariya said, “The state governments will have to tell us their requirement and allocation will be done accordingly”.
Over 200 farmers from far flung areas of Meghalaya had recently staged a demonstration protesting the State Government’s failure to provide them subsidy and fertilizer.
