Farmers continue to wait in serpentine queues for fertilizers in Telangana

Despite tall claims of the Congress government in introducing app-based fertilizers supply system, farmers continue to wait in serpentine queues for fertilizers at different places.

On Saturday, braving cold weather, farmers, including women turned up in large numbers at the Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society centre in Khila Warangal. Much before the centre was opened, farmers stood in the serpentine queues for their turn to secure fertilizers bags.

Many farmers, especially women, fumed at the



officials for failing to arrange sufficient quantities of fertilizers ahead of the season. The State government seems to have not learnt any lessons from the hardships faced by farmers during last season. The same issues were being faced again this season. Who should be held responsible for this negligence, farmers’ reportedly asked at the centre.

Similarly, videos and images of farmers, especially the aged, waiting for their turn to get fertilisers at the PACS centre in Mahabubabad on Friday, were shared extensively on social media.
