Cotton Farmers Block National Highway in Nalgonda

Cotton farmers from Madaram village in Saligouraram mandal blocked a key stretch of the national highway on Tuesday with scattered bales of cotton across the road to draw attention to their grievances.

The protesters accused the local TRR Cotton Mill of stopping purchases of their crop, leaving



growers in a financial bind as the harvest season peaks.

The demonstration began around 10 am, when over 50 farmers, many carrying sacks of cotton on their shoulders, marched onto the Hyderabad highway. They unloaded the bales, creating a makeshift blockade that halted traffic for nearly two hours.
