Jaipur, Oct 18 (PTI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that continuous efforts are being made by the state government to improve the DAP fertiliser supply.
While reviewing the availability of fertilisers in the state on Monday, Gehlot said that the state government had sought attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by writing a letter about the difficulties being faced by farmers due to inadequate supply of DAP to the state.
Union Fertilizer Minister was also urged to increase DAP supply.
