Farmer Attempts Suicide Over Urea Shortage
A farmer named Bikki Chennakeshavulu tried to hurt himself because he was upset about not having enough fertilizer called urea for his crops.
He was waiting in line for days, but there wasn't enough urea for everyone.
The government is giving each farmer only two bags, which isn't enough for their farms.
Farmers are angry because they need more urea.
The police stopped the farmer from hurting himself.
Some people are asking why it's so hard to get urea, especially since a lot of it was recently found being sold illegally.
The amount of urea used has increased a lot this year compared to last year, and officials say they are working to ensure farmers get what they need but also caution against over purchasing.
A farmer, Bikki Chennakeshavulu, attempted suicide due to urea shortage.
The incident occurred at the single window office in Killaghanpur.
Farmers are each receiving only two bags of urea per Aadhaar card.
A large amount of illegal urea was seized in Peddamandadi.
Farmers expressed frustration over the insufficient urea supply.
