Godowns of co-operatives have run out of DAP, urea, and other fertilisers essential for Rabi sowing. Many farmers in or around Lalitpur have either died by suicide or from exhaustion in their desperate bid to procure few bags of the soil nutrient

Lucknow: In the last one week or so, farmers in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh have reported a huge crunch of fertilisers at a time when the sowing of crops is at its peak.

Several districts have been reeling under a severe shortage of fertiliser, particularly Hamirpur, Lalitpur, Hathras, Etawah, Farrukhabad, Firozabad, Etah, Banda, Mainpuri, Kannauj. The farmers are making a beeline in huge numbers in front of co-operative societies for purchasing stocks, at times from morning to evening, claim locals.

The shortage turned deadly in the Lalitpur region, where at least five farmers died in a week while desperately trying to get their hands on bags of fertilisers.

On Saturday, the deepening shortage of fertilisers and financial crunch allegedly drove a middle-aged farmer to suicide in Masaura Khurd village of Jakhaura block in Lalitpur district. For the past 5-7 days he was visiting fertiliser distribution centres in vain, the deceased’s elder brother told Newsclick. According to his family, he took the extreme step as he was worried over the shortage, and debts he needed to repay to the bank, he added.
