GOLAGHAT: Amidst the pandemic situation when every section of the society has suffered a lot, this time farmers have become the target of some scrupulous businessmen. This is the peak time of cultivation and farmers need adequate quantity of fertilizers, especially urea. But a lobby of businessmen is trying to control the fertilizer market and fertilizers, especially urea, are allegedly being sold at a high price.

Recently, the administration had fixed the rate of urea at Rs 300. But farmers are buying urea allegedly at two times higher price that the rate fixed by the administration. Farmers have slammed the agriculture department also for not taking any steps to check the artificial scarcity and uncontrolled price of urea and other essential fertilizers.
