Chemical fertilizers in farms killing fish, frog and insects also in tribal areas...

My name is Raju Kumar. I am calling from Chatra district of Jharkhand. I am noticing from last few years that the small fish varieties in the farms are not visible any more. In local language these fish varieties were known as Neta, Garai, Pothi etc. Similarly we do not find many frogs and different insects. I was told by people that because farmers here in this tribal and forest areas have also started using chemical fertilizer that is killing these fish, frog and insects. This is a natural disaster which needs to be checked. For more Raju can be reached at 09430313721
