Prazia Dahal says, 'There is a suspicion that the fertilizer found in unlicensed firms or suppliers may have been smuggled outside the district, it may have been taken from licensed fertilizer dealers or it may have gone from the office where the fertilizer is stored, but the clear reason has not been revealed, we are investigating.' We are determined to stop the black market of fertilizers,' said Prazia Dahal, 'as soon as the information was received, the process of action was initiated. Six .' He informed that a black market case has been initiated against selling chemical fertilizers in the black market.

According to the recommendations of the Provincial Fertilizer Distribution and Management Committee, Agricultural Materials Company Limited and Salt Trading have been distributing fertilizers including DAP, Urea and Potash to the designated dealers for all 18 municipal wards of Saptari district.

According to Sonelal Murmu, head of Agricultural Materials Company Limited, Rajviraj, Saptari district needs 90,000 sacks of DAP, 150,000 sacks of urea and 10,000 sacks of potash in the season of paddy and wheat. This year, from July to mid-November, only 93 thousand 450 bags of urea, 42 thousand 20 bags of DAP and 2 thousand 120 bags of potash have arrived in the agricultural material company . He said that since the coming season of chemical fertilizers, some fertilizers have been given to the authorized dealers for sale and distribution.

Murmu said that he has sent a written letter to the State Fertilizer Distribution and Management Committee because the available fertilizer is not able to sustain the wheat season. He said that there is a possibility that more fertilizers will arrive by December 20.
