Sukhbir issues one week ultimatum to CM to ensure supply of DAP to farmers

Bathinda, Nov 8 (UNI) Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday issued a one week ultimatum to Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi to ensure smooth supply of DAP fertilizer to farmers of the state or else the SAD would intensify its agitation to secure justice for the affected farmers by holding a ‘gherao’ of the CM’s residence.
Addressing a dharna organized in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here, Mr Badal expressed shock that the Congress government had failed to secure adequate stock of DAP fertilizer ahead of the wheat sowing season due to which it was now being black marketed. “Farmers are even being forced to purchase zinc and phosphate fertilizers along with DAP”. He said all this was because Congress leaders were busy fighting with each other.
