CK Raut demands response to resolve farmers' problems

Janamat Party Chairman Dr CK Raut said that the problems the farmers have been facing every year should be resolved.

At the organization expansion and training program of the party held in Rajbiraj, Saptari on Saturday, he said the farmers in Madhes have been denied access to fertilizers in the time of crop plantation which he noted should be addressed.

Terai is a fertile land for food production, he said, adding well-placed arrangement of irrigation facilities is a must to increase productivity. 'Farmers in Terai are upset in the plantation time in the dearth of irrigation water', he said.

On another note, he said the syndicate system prevailing across the country has blocked the establishment of big industries.

Claiming that he took some efforts for the setup of a chemical fertilizers factory in Nepal with support from the Indian and German governments, Raut said India had positively responded to the initiative.

He underscored the need of creating job opportunities within the country to check the exodus of youths to foreign countries for employment.
