Fertiliser production stops

Urea production at Ashuganj Fertiliser Chemical Company Limited (AFCCL) in the district came to a halt on Friday due to a technical fault. According to AFCCL office sources, the factory is missing an opportunity to produce 1,400 metric tones of urea worth Tk 2.8 crore everyday due to the disruption. Md. Zinnat Ali, general manager of AFCCL, said the engineers and technicians were working round the clock to repair the faults. It may take around 10 days to resume the operation, he said.
