Imphal, July 21; Joint Non-Government Voluntary Organisation today in a press release has asked for help from the government in avoiding a famine likely to be caused by the recent flood in the state.
It may be mentioned that the recent flood has displaced numbers of people and damaged properties and acres of cultivated land. And there is scarcity of fertilizers in many part of the state like Kakching. JNGVO appeals the government to take up steps and policies to help farmers who are affected by the flood and also the farmers who are not affected by flood by proving them means to get their much needed fertilisers. JNGVO furthers that if steps are not taken now, the state is sure to face shortage of food grains in the next year.
