President of Pakistan Kisan Movement (PKM) Chaudhry Ashfaq has appealed to President Pervez Musharraf to take actions against those officials who are exploiting farmers by creating fertiliser crisis. He expressed his views while chairing a Kisan meeting here on Monday. Farmers from different parts also attended the meeting and shared their grievances on the occasion. He said that farmers were very concerned over a possible fertiliser crisis badly affecting their community following the wheat and cooking oil crises. Furthermore, the farmers from Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalpur claimed that Urea, SOP, SSP and PSP had disappeared from the market and they were facing difficulties in getting them. They added that dealers had failed to provide them with fertilisers, meanwhile their counterparts from Sargodha and Faisalabad had complained about adulterated fertiliser being sold to them. Farmers from Multan and Sahiwal claimed that in their districts only imported fertiliser was available at a double rate. Copyright Business Recorder, 2008
