Farmers in the state are not getting urea; if they are, it is at almost double the price

Urea prices are skyrocketing in Chhattisgarh due to the government’s decisions these days. So bad is the situation that farmers are being forced to buy urea on the black market and then cultivate paddy at a higher cost and bear the losses. Due to this, farmers from Raipur, Mahasamund, Bilaspur and Gariaband districts have been rendered helpless.

Sushil Bhoi, a farmer from the Bagh Bahra area of Mahasamund district, said: “I went to Saraipali, thinking that a truck was going to bring urea and that I would get at least five to seven sacks. But I was in for disappointment when I reached the spot,” he told this reporter.

Bhoi said he and others complained to government agencies that farmers were having to purchase bags of urea in black at a price of more than Rs 600.

The administration also conducted raids, but nobody was caught due to the nexus between the authorities and others. “It is so bad now that no urea is available even on the black market,” Bhoi said.

Farmer leader Jugnoo Chandrakar said: “When we threatened to disrupt traffic, the Mahasamund collector sought a week’s time and assured that the situation will be back to normal soon.We have also tried to meet the chief minister in this regard. The agriculture minister has also given assurances to us.  But there is still no change in the situation.”
