Expectations from States. After introduction of neem coated urea, requirement should go-down. Close coordination with suppliers and timely placement of indents with Railways. Clear pending B1 & B2 forms, so that companies are financially sound to supply fertilizers. Faster release of fertilizer rakes. Strengthen enforcement measures to prevent hoarding/ black-marketing/ smuggling/ diversion of subsidized fertilizers. Promote balance fertilization.
