Police have seized a battery-rickshaw carrying 32 sacks of DAP fertilizer while it was being smuggled from Kendua, Netrokona to Tarail. On Tuesday afternoon, locals intercepted the rickshaw on the Chirang-Tarail road, during which the driver managed to escape. Later, police went to the spot and took the fertilizer and the rickshaw to the police station. No one has been arrested in this incident.
Local farmers complained that failing to get fertilizer as per demand, they are forced to buy it at higher prices. They also alleged that some dealers are selling fertilizers allocated for farmers to other upazilas.
Kendua Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Tarikul Islam stated that upon receiving the information, police seized 32 sacks of DAP fertilizer. Preparations are underway to file a case in this regard.
