Telangana Expands Fertilizer Booking App
The Telangana government has expanded a new app to help farmers book fertilizer in five districts.
On Monday, 7,000 farmers used the app to book 21,000 bags of urea.
The government says the app will save time and make things fair, but the opposition party, BRS, is worried it might cause problems.
The government also says they have more urea this year than last, but the BRS thinks the app might make farmers worry about shortages.
Farmers have 24 hours to pick up their orders, and the government is watching how the app works before using it everywhere.
Telangana's agriculture department expanded the Fertilizer Booking App to five districts on Monday.
7,000 farmers booked 21,000 bags of urea, with 10,000 bags picked up on the same day.
Farmers have 24 hours to collect their orders after booking.
The government claims the app will streamline urea distribution and prevent misuse, similar to the Kapas Kisan App.
The BRS opposes the app, suggesting it may cause doubts and hardships for farmers, and accusing the government of causing panic buying.
