The Hon. Susantha Kumara Nawarathna raised a second supplementary question regarding delays in the distribution of the second tranche of the fertilizer subsidy. He noted that while it had been agreed the first tranche would be released prior to the commencement of cultivation, some farmers have experienced delays in receiving the second tranche, and he sought clarification on the Agrarian Services Department's current measures to address this issue.
My second supplementary: We know there were issues over distributing the fertilizer subsidy. We decided that the first tranche should be released before commencing cultivation. However, for the second tranche there have been delays for some. What is the current intervention by the Agrarian Services Department?
