The Maharashtra state government has banned the practice of 'tagging' or 'linking' non-subsidized products like micro-nutrients and bio-fertilizers with subsidized fertilizers. Agriculture Secretary Parimal Singh issued a circular stating that producers and suppliers can only sell items listed in their license. Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne warned of strict action against violators, emphasizing that farmers must receive fertilizers at fair prices without forced purchases, as per Central Government guidelines. https://www.loksatta.com/mumbai/maharashtra-fertilizer-tagging-linking-ban-dattatray-bharne-farmers-relief-mumbai-print-news-amy-95-5910941/ #creator program
