Women carrying bags of fertilizer from the cooperative society.
Currently there is shortage of fertilizers in many districts of Uttar Pradesh. For this reason, large crowds are gathering at farmers’ cooperatives. Farmers queue up all night to get fertilizer and in the morning when the cooperative society opens, they cannot get it. This generates anger among farmers. Farmers were angered by the non-availability of fertilizers in Mahoba district. The farmers tried to steal the DAP fertilizer by breaking the lock of the cooperative society. Veiled women also participated in this robbery. His video is also going viral.
Farmers in Mahoba district are waiting for fertilizer to plant their crops, but because they did not receive the fertilizer on time, the farmer started getting angry. On Thursday, farmers tried to loot fertilizers by forcibly breaking the lock of the cooperative society at Purba Sadhan Cooperative Society, Mahoba and also created a ruckus. On receiving information that the farmers had broken the lock, police and administration officials reached the spot and tried to pacify the farmers.
Fertilizer looting video went viral
The distribution of fertilizers to farmers was started by forming a queue under the supervision of the police. Farmers say the fields are being ruined. They do not receive fertilizers. I’ve been looking for fertilizer for weeks. What to do after all? Video of fertilizer looting is becoming increasingly viral on social media, in which veiled men and women are seen looting bags of DAP fertilizer.
They deliver 300 bags of fertilizer to each cooperative society
Let us tell you that 300 bags of fertilizer have been given to each cooperative society, while thousands of farmers are queuing up to receive fertilizers at the cooperative society. Perhaps this is the reason why farmers have started to get angry. Not just in one committee, but similar cases are coming to light in many places in the district, where there have even been clashes and road blockades, because farmers are currently struggling to get DAP fertilizer.
Lakshmi, secretary of Purba Cooperative Society, said that today we were at home, when in the morning the farmers broke the lock of their society and took out the fertilizer bags. Now, only after the count will it be known how many bags have been reduced. We have informed our departmental officials about this matter.
