Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the urea sent to the farmers of Jabalpur region, instructions were given by the state government to distribute 70 percent from government agencies and 30 percent urea from private agencies. Strict action should be taken against whoever is responsible for violating these instructions.
The culprits will not be spared under any circumstances.
The persons responsible for the violation should be identified and such action should be taken against them so that no one dares to indulge in such acts in future.
The availability of adequate urea should be ensured in the districts where urea is required.
Chouhan was taking a follow-up meeting to implement the instructions given yesterday regarding the supply of urea fertiliser in Jabalpur.
In the meeting held at the residence office, Chief Secretary Iqbal Singh Bains, Agriculture Production Commissioner Shailendra Singh, Additional Chief Secretary Agriculture Ajit Kesari, Divisional Commissioner Jabalpur B. Chandrashekhar and Jabalpur police and district administration and Markfed officials attended virtually.
Jabalpur Divisional Commissioner informed Chief Minister Shri Chouhan that action has been taken in the matter at two levels.
So far, FIR has been lodged against three people including transporter Dwarka Gupta, resident of Bilaspur, Jaiprakash Singh, resident of Bhopal and Rajendra Chaudhary of Noida.
Jaiprakash Singh and Rajendra Chaudhary have been taken into custody.
Shubham Birla and Naveen Jha of Jabalpur are also being questioned.
Along with this, the process of raiding various godowns to recover urea is also going on.
Chouhan said that it should be ensured that no guilty manages to escape.
The matter should be investigated in a scientific manner, as well as no innocent should be harassed unnecessarily.
Chouhan said that no farmer should face the problem of fertiliser in any district. If necessary, advance lifting of urea should be done.
