SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today warned that the Public Safety Act would be slapped on the dealers found involved in the adulteration or selling of spurious pesticides and fungicides in the State.
”I have directed the concerned officials to impose PSA against the dealers found conclusively involved in adultery or selling of spurious pesticides and fungicides in the State,” Ms Mufti said while addressing a largely attended gathering of fruit growers and progressive farmers here after formally launching the High Density Apple Plantation Scheme.
Ms Mufti assured the growers that the State Government has flagged their concerns on priority and steps are being taken to address them properly. The decision to act tough against the dealers involved in the adulteration of pesticides and fungicides has been taken in the backdrop of concerns raised by the fruit growers. (AGENCIES)
