CA's intervention sought to resolve fertiliser, seed, power crises
Staff Correspondent
Karmojibi Nari, a platform of working women, has sought direct intervention of the chief adviser (CA) of the caretaker government (CG) to resolve the problems related to fertiliser, seeds and power outage for the sake of marginal farmers and punish those responsible for the crises. In a faxed message to Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed, Karmojibi Nari President Shirin Akhter yesterday said the farmers have been facing serious shortage of fertiliser. She said a sack of fertiliser is being sold at Tk 500, but the actual price of it is not more than Tk 290. Shirin alleged that the dishonest traders have been stocking fertiliser to create artificial crisis and increase the price. About the crisis of good seeds, the faxed message said some non-government organisations (NGOs) are supplying low quality seeds to the farmers. The message also demanded resolving of power outage, as irrigation is very important for several major crops of the country.
