On one hand, where the lockdown due to pandemic of coronavirus(as announced by WHO) is going on and on the other side the farmers of Tehsil Marmat are facing to many difficulties.
In this era, people are facing difficulties to travel any where due to lockdown, as you all know that every where there is no movement of vehicles by whom people travel and go to Doda or elsewhere to buy essential things rather than ration.
The Department of Agriculture is also depriving poor farmers from the urea in Tehsil Marmat.
While it is time to plant crops, but once again the injustice is being done with the farmers of the Tehsil Marmat.
“Why everytime residents of tehsil Marmat are repeatedly punished by the Distt Administration or concerned authorities”, asked a farmer.
It is very unfortunate to mention that every time farmers and labourers are deprived from every kind of facilities,” he added
While talking to the Chenab Times, farmers of Tehsil Marmat told that they have purchased 160000, amounts of seed this year but there is no arrangement of urea fertilizer so far by the departmment. Farmers are suffering badly and are waiting morning and evening for urea. But the department is not paying any attention to this side.
The poor farmers of tehsil Marmat urged to Worthy DC Doda and Chief Agricultural Officer to make arrangement of urea so that they (Farmers) may not suffer during this pandemic time.
