Suresh Prasad Singh and his brother Nagendra Prasad Singh, from Sarlahi’s Balara-5, were arrested by Indian authorities on Ashar 17 for buying fertilizer in Sonbarsa, India.
Their family received a call from Suresh Prasad’s phone, but it was his brother Nagendra who was speaking, informing them that they had been arrested.
Arrest and Detention
The Indian authorities claim that the brothers were caught with two sacks of urea and six sacks of DAP fertilizer.
However, Suresh Prasad’s son Avinash disputes this, saying that they only had two sacks of fertilizer with them when they were arrested.
The brothers were taken to jail on Ashar 18, and their family has been trying to secure their release ever since.
Government Response
The Nepali government has been in touch with the Indian authorities, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that they are working to secure the release of the two men.
The government has also said that it is aware of the difficulties faced by farmers in Nepal in accessing fertilizers, and is working to address the issue.
Fertilizer Shortage
The case highlights the difficulties faced by farmers in Nepal in accessing fertilizers, which are essential for their crops.
Despite the government’s claims that there is no shortage of fertilizers, many farmers have reported difficulties in accessing them.
The government has said that it has imported a large quantity of fertilizers, but the distribution system has failed to deliver them to the farmers on time.
Systemic Failure
The case also highlights the systemic failure of the government’s distribution system, which has failed to deliver fertilizers to the farmers despite the government’s claims of sufficient stock.
The government has said that it is working to address the issue, but the farmers continue to suffer due to the lack of fertilizers.
