Farmers facing shortage of DAP: Hooda

In a statement, the Congress leader said that there is a huge shortage of DAP in Sonepat, Jhajjar, Fatehabad, Hisar and Rohtak districts.

Expressing concern over the shortage of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the state, former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday said farmers have to face shortage of fertilisers in every crop season because of mismanagement of BJP government.

He said the total consumption of DAP in Rohtak district is 1.70 lakh quintals, but the availability is comparatively less. (HT File)

In a statement, the Congress leader said that there is a huge shortage of DAP in Sonepat, Jhajjar, Fatehabad, Hisar and Rohtak districts.

As against the requirement of 1.10 lakh quintals of fertiliser this season, only 40,000 quintals of DAP has reached farmers,” he said. He said the total consumption of DAP in Rohtak district is 1.70 lakh quintals, but the availability is comparatively less.
