Illegal Urea Stock Seized in Kerala
Police in Kerala found 1,360 bags of urea, which is meant for farmers at a low cost, stored illegally at a factory.
The factory owner said he needed it for making gum for plywood, but the law says urea can only be used for farming.
The police are investigating how the factory got so much urea.
They also sent samples to check the quality of the urea.
This happened when there is a shortage of urea in the market.

The seizure was made on July 23 based on a tip-off and inspection by the Agricultural Officer.
