Urea Shortage Causes Farmer Panic in Mahabubnagar
Farmers in Mahabubnagar are having trouble getting enough fertilizer (urea) for their crops.
They're waiting in long lines, and some shops don't have any.
The government is limiting how much each farmer can buy, which is causing frustration.
Farmers worry that if they don't get fertilizer soon, their crops will die.
The government says the problem is late deliveries and more demand, but they are working to get more fertilizer.

Long queues are forming at fertilizer shops, with many displaying 'No Stock' boards.
The agriculture department is rationing urea to two bags per farmer, verified by Aadhaar.
