Haryana government today conducted raids on fertiliser godowns in Kaithal district suspected of illegally stocking urea following complaints.
The officials raided godowns located on Peoda Road, Model Town and Shergarh Road.
An FIR was registered against a dealer for selling fertiliser without license, Kaithal Deputy Commissioner K M Pandurang said in a statement.
The district administration said it will take stern action against hoarders and black-marketers and ensure availability of fertilisers to the farmers.
