Govt prioritises agriculture: Home Minister Khand
Rupandehi, Aug 13: Home Minister Bal Krishna Khand has said the government has prioritised agriculture by allocating around Rs 16 billion in grants to purchase chemical fertilizers. "The process to purchase chemical fertilizers has moved ahead. They cost the same price in the international market. As a result, it will be costlier for farmers. So, efforts are on so farmers should not face difficulties in getting fertilizers," said the minister while inaugurating the Suddhodhan Park at Suddhodhan Rural Municipality-5 in the district amid a function here today. Chemical fertilizers are in short supply at present. The government has been holding talks with various foreign countries about the supply. So, the problem would be resolved soon, said the minister. The Home Minister opined "We are forced to purchase chemical fertilizers at the price as demanded by India. Last time, we could not purchase them as the Government of India fixed the high price. It takes time to establish a fertilizer industry at home. It is not easier either. It requires a large amount of energy." In another context, the minister clarified that the government brought the citizenship bill to ensure the right of Nepali citizens to citizenship. There should not be any delay in passing the bill, he added. He also stressed the need for the development of the district including Suddhodhan while conserving religions and social and cultural heritages of various casts and communities. On this occasion, the Minister for Tourism, Rural and Urban Development of Lumbini Province, Dilli Bahadur Chaudhary pledged to develop Suddhodhan as a tourist destination.
