With the policy decision taken by the government to expand the use of organic fertilizers by restricting the use of chemical fertilizers, a serious crisis situation has arisen regarding fertilizers in the country.
Against such a backdrop, the Hiru CIA today (20) revealed about a new racket in the Kurunegala area that is distributing substandard compost manure island wide.
This center which produces and distributes fertilizer on a large scale throughout the country is located in the Giribawa area in Kurunegala.
A well known fertilizer company in the country has placed an order to supply 60,000 kilograms of fertilizer per week with this center.
Hiru CIA investigation revealed that in addition to supplying the fertilizer, the factory also packs the fertilizer under a different name and releases it to the market on a large scale.
Hiru CIA team arrived at the scene to uncover how the compost fertilizer racket is being carried out.
