JAMMU,
JULY 02: A meeting to review the DBT in

through Release Order Module (ROM) in the Jammu Division was held today at
Krishi Bhawan, Talab Tillo, Jammu under the chairmanship of the Director
Agriculture Jammu H. K. Razdan who is also the
controller of fertilizers for J & K state.
Speaking on the
occasion, Director Agriculture said that the objective of the scheme
is to get an accurate detail of fertilizers reaching the Point-of-Sale (POS) at
wholesale/retailers’ level and the quantity of fertilizers being sold and
actually utilized by the farmers. “Besides bringing transparency in the
fertilizer business the new system will ensure that the subsidy of fertilizers
reaches to the farmers”, he said. He directed the Chief Agriculture Officers to
monitor the supply/sale of fertilizers by wholesalers/retailers in their
respective districts and take stern action against those selling the stocks
without POS device. He directed them to cancel the Licenses of
retailers who are selling fertilizer without POS devices. It was agreed upon
that Fertilizer Wholesalers will submit the dispatch and sales reports to their
respective CAO’s on fortnightly bases.

Director of Agriculture (Extension), Jammu R. L. Bhagat stressed on the use of
Release Order Module (ROM) in letter and spirit to make the timely availability
of fertilizers as per requisition of respective areas. The non-usage
of Point-of-Sale (POS) devices will warrant strict actions from the Law
Enforcement Agency of the Agriculture Department he said.
