Gopalganj,
Apr 11 (UNB) – Ahead of the jute cultivation this season, smuggled
low quality jute seeds have flooded the markets of the district that
forebodes ill for the growers.
Several
thousand maunds of Indian jute seeds coming through Satkhira, Benapole
and Kaliganj borders are being sold in the rural hats and bazars of
Mollarhat Muksudpur, Gazarampur and Kashiani areas.
From
these areas, the smuggled seeds are being distributed to other parts
of the country amidst “mysterious inaction” of the local
administration and others concerned, the local farmers alleged.
