'Extend social cooperation to save poultry industry'
Agriculture and Water Resources Adviser CS Karim yesterday said all would have to extend social cooperation to save the country's poultry industry, hit badly by avian influenza.
“Farmers are our national heroes. We have to work for their interest,” he said speaking at a views-exchange meeting at the district conference room.
The agriculture adviser informed that the government is providing Tk 1200 as subsidy against each bag of urea fertilizer only to save the sector.
He said the government has appointed several fertiliser distributors in all the unions of the country to reach the much-need input to the farmers.
Faridpur Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Yahya Bhuiyan presided over the meeting.
Faridpur Police Superintendent Kusum Dewan, Major Enayet Karim, NDC Tariqul Islam, Govt Rajendra College Principal Prof Anil Chandra Saha, heads of all government departments in the district and representatives of different social organisations also address the meeting.
