Farmers are facing huge problems due to lack of urea in the Hungirga Society located at Tanur Mandal Center in Nirmal district of Telangana. To get urea, farmers have to keep their slippers in line in the early morning and are in line. This situation reveals the compulsion of the farmers and the negligence of the administration.
Local farmers say that urea supply is getting very low and irregular. Due to lack of this fertilizer important for farming, crops are not getting timely nutrition, which can affect production. A farmer, Ramchandra Reddy told, "We have to be in line from 4 am, and still have to return empty handed many times. Officers do not care about our problems."
Farmers forced to buy urea at double the price from shops
Hunger Society are getting limited quantity of urea and it is insufficient compared to demand. The farmers allege that the local administration and the concerned departments are not taking any concrete steps in this direction. Some farmers said that they are being forced to buy urea from private shops at double the price, which is overshadowing their economic condition.
District Agriculture Officer assured
Nirmal District Administration has assured to pay attention to this problem. District Agriculture Officer K.K. Sudhakar said, "We are coordinating with the state government and suppliers to increase the supply of urea. Efforts are being made to provide additional stock by next week." However, farmers say that such promises were made earlier, but the situation did not improve.
Farmers have demanded that the government ensure regular and adequate supply of urea, so that their hard work does not go in vain. Also, strict steps need to be taken to stop black marketing. This problem is not only limited to Nirmal district, but in many other parts of Telangana, farmers are struggling with lack of urea.
