Overview

• Less than 6 lakh tonnes of DAP and urea have been delivered against a target of 14 lakh tonnes for Haryana’s kharif season.
• Acute shortages have driven farmers to queue at police-protected distribution sites and turn to costly black-market alternatives.
• Opposition leaders Kumari Selja and Bhupinder Singh Hooda accuse state and central BJP governments of systemic mismanagement and failure to secure timely fertiliser allocations.
• Cultivators report declining yields and crop losses as delayed fertiliser deliveries and rising input costs bite into productivity.
• Farmers remain without minimum support price schemes for maize and sunflower, forcing them to accept rates ₹1,000–1,500 below government guidelines.
