Lack of urea in Kharif season, Telangana MP wrote a letter to JP Nadda

Congress leader and MP from Bhongir Chamal Kiran Kumar Reddy wrote a letter to Union Chemicals and Fertilizer Minister JP Nadda, expressing concern over the huge decrease in urea supply to Telangana during the current Kharif season. In his letter, Reddy said that the total urea allocation of the state for this season is 9.80 lakh metric tons (LMT), but till 31 July, only 4.36 LMT was supplied, which is 2.24 LMT lower compared to the 6.60 LMT expected for the April-July period. The situation is expected to deteriorate in August, the MP said that despite the actual requirement of this month being around 3.50 lakh metric tonnes, only 1.70 lakh metric tonnes have been allotted. This imbalance between the need and supply is creating a serious crisis for farmers, especially farmers who cultivate major crops like cotton, maize and paddy.
