Telangana has been facing heightened concerns over urea supply for the past month, with farmers queuing up at PACS offices , even abandoning agricultural work, to secure the essential fertilizer. The opposition party, BRS, has also raised alarm over the shortage, intensifying the urgency of the issue.
In response, Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageshwar Rao is scheduled to meet Union Minister for Fertilizers and Chemicals JP Nadda in Delhi today . The meeting aims to request the supply of an additional 60,000 metric tonnes of urea to Telangana over the next ten days.
Recent shipments have already begun arriving: 9,000 metric tonnes reached the state on Monday night , followed by 5,000 metric tonnes on Tuesday . Officials confirmed that a total of 27,000 metric tonnes will be supplied in the coming week . Minister Thummala has instructed the state agriculture department to ensure uninterrupted urea availability, preventing further hardship for farmers engaged in crucial agricultural activities.
