Telangana Urges Centre for Adequate Urea Supply in August
The Telangana government is asking the central government for more urea, which is a type of fertilizer, because they need it for crops like rice and cotton in August.
They are worried because they don't have enough of it right now.
The state says they should have received more urea from April to July, but they didn't get as much as they were supposed to.
A politician from a different party thinks the state government isn't handling the situation well.
They believe the state government should explain why there isn't enough urea, even though the central government has provided a lot.
Telangana government requests the Centre to ensure sufficient urea supply in August.
Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao stated urea is crucial for crops like paddy, cotton, and maize.
The state has 1.09 lakh MT of urea in stock, but requires 3 lakh MT for August.
From April to July, Telangana received 4.51 lakh MT of urea, against an allocation of 6.60 lakh MT.
BJP president N Ramchander Rao accused the state government of mismanagement.
