Farmers stand in serpentine queues for urea in Telangana

Farmers from different villages are standing in serpentine queues for urea at Makthal town here on Thursday. Holding passbooks, the farmers arrived at the Primary Agriculture Cooperative Society early in the morning and are standing for their turn.

After getting tired and getting exhausted by standing in the queue, the farmers have placed stones and footwear as an indication about



their turn in the queue. Farmers were fuming that this was the situation in Animal Husbandry Minister V Srihari’s constituency.

They charged that private traders were maintaining sufficient stocks in their godowns and were selling the urea at exorbitant prices, citing shortage. They demanded the Agriculture Cooperative Society to provide sufficient urea and threatened to stage protests.
