Kisan Board Pakistan (KBP) strongly criticising continuous increase in the prices of urea fertiliser has claimed that this fertiliser is now out of the reach of farmer. It said urea fertiliser had registered increase of many hundred rupees during the last one week and its application in the crops had decreased due to its being very expensive, which might also result in one third reduction of national crop production, Board claimed.
KBP President Sardar Zafar Hussein and General Secretary Malik Muhammad Ramzan Rohari in a joint statement here Tuesday said that the government first hit masses and farmers with diesel, electricity and gas bombs and now had dropped fertiliser bomb on the growers. They said that people were already disturbed due to unjustifiable increase of electricity and petroleum products.
They claimed that increase in urea prices might result in less wheat production than the target fixed for this year. They said it a cruel act of the government and said that they were gifting price-hike to the masses on the arrival of New Year. KBP leaders warned the rulers to stop bombing farmers with diesel, electricity and fertiliser bombs, otherwise farmers would dislodge them with 'protest bombs.'
