Union minister for coal and mines G Kishan Reddy said that India has been importing urea from China and Ukraine, the supply of which, have been affected in the recent times.
He urged the farmers to understand that despite the shortage, the Centre has been continuing the subsidy on the urea between Rs 2,300 and Rs 2,400 per urea
bag.
Addressing the media in Hyderabad on Thursday, August 21, Kishan Reddy said that globally there has been a shortage of urea, and those talking about its shortage in Telangana should also think about the financial burden on the Centre.
He insisted that there is a need to prevent the siphoning of the subsidised urea being supplied by the Centre.
