The Telangana government faces criticism over an alleged halt in urea sales. BRS leader Harish Rao accused the administration of harming farmers and mismanaging fertiliser supply, warning that continued restrictions could deepen the agrarian crisis across the state.
Activists of the Telangana Rythu Sangham staged protests across Khammam, demanding urgent supply of urea and opposing the Centre’s decision to lift duties on cotton imports. Leaders blamed the fertiliser shortage on delayed imports and halted production at Ramagundam.
A severe shortage of urea in Siddipet district has forced farmers to sleep overnight at cooperative outlets, highlighting the ongoing challenges in fertiliser supply and the impact on agriculture.
In Satrajupalli village, Rajanna-Sircilla district, farmers staged a unique protest on Friday by gifting a urea bag to Maru Kishan Reddy, a fellow farmer, on his birthday. This gesture aimed to highlight the ongoing fertiliser shortage in Telangana.
