Stalin asks Union Minister to instruct officials to ensure timely supply of urea
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Friday wrote to Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya, urging him to instruct officials to ensure the timely supply of urea, as per the supply plan, to benefit farmers. Mr. Stalin also requested the supply of an additional 25,000 MT of DAP (Di-ammonium Phosphate) fertiliser and 10,000 MT of MOP (Muriate of Potassium) to meet their increasing demand.
In his communication to the Union Minister, Mr. Stalin said Tamil Nadu had been allocated a reduced supply plan of fertilizers for October, a lot lesser than the requirement of urea and DAP. While the requirement of urea for October was 1,66,700 lakh MT, the supply plan of the Union government for the month was 1,43,500 lakh MT, and the supply made was 61,384 lakh MT.
As for DAP, the requirement for the month was 45,150 lakh MT but the supply plan of the Union government was 4,480 lakh MT and the supply made was only 10,601 lakh MT.
