Resentment has been brewing among the farmers of Kalahandi district owing to short supply of seeds for grain and vegetable cultivation, which is resulting in low productivity.
The plight of the farmers was explained at a meeting held on Sunday by the Kalahandi Krusijibi Kalyan Sangh headed by president Hemant Chauhan at Balrampur village under Sadar block in Bhawanipatna.
Farmers suffer a lot as the department of horticulture fails to provide vegetable seeds in the appropriate time. Irregularities in rainfall this year have already created havoc among the distressed farmers, the Sangh observed.
It was also reported in the meeting that there were serious flaws in the supply of pesticides by the State Government as a result of which these were being sold at an exorbitant prices in the open market.
