Ering said Arunachal Pradesh always stood strongly for

national interest and the government must also take every possible step to help farmers from the bordering state.

BJP member Sumedhanand Saraswati called for extensive use of organic manure and said studies should be carried to examine whether cow urine could be helpful.

Badruddin Ajmal (AIUDF) demanded a concrete roadmap for addressing problems of the farmers, saying their condition may trigger a ripple effect for the whole economy.

He asked the Prime Minister to fulfil his promise of making the entire North East a hub for organic farming.

Ajmal also demanded compensation for farmers in Assam whose crops were damaged in floods.

"The perennial problem of floods in Assam must be resolved as it will grately benefit the farmers," he said.

He also sought support for the state's tea growers.

BJP member Uday Pratap Singh said there was a need for long-term policy planning to address problems of the farming community.

He also called for a review of the land ceiling policy, saying farmers must be allowed to retain bigger plots of farm land. The MP also called for fixing a limit for allowing sale of agricultural land.

"There should be law to ensure that farmers cannot sell their land beyond a certain limit," he said.
