The price of urea, a major fertiliser, will not be increased in the next four years, said Union Minister of State for Petrochemicals and Fertilisers, Hansraj Ahir.

“Come what may, the price of a bag of urea will remain constant at Rs. 268 during the period,” he declared on Wednesday.

The Minister was addressing a press conference here as part of his visit to the district in connection with celebrations on completion of the one-year rule of the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He later addressed a public meeting in Nirmal where he recalled the achievements of the Union government.

Mr. Ahir said the BJP government was committed to the welfare of farmers.
