Overview

• After a high-level review, ministers said 42,000 tonnes are in stock, with 6,543 tonnes arriving immediately and 37,877 tonnes due by month-end.
• Officials told RFCL the State has not received 62,473 tonnes from its quota and noted the Ramagundam plant operated only 40 of 145 days this season.
• The government pressed RFCL and parent NFL to prioritize Telangana, including supplying at least one rake per day from other plants until Ramagundam restarts.
• Farmers reported long, overnight queues at PACS with rationing to one bag in places, and a farmer collapsed while waiting in Mahabubnagar.
• BRS leaders accused both the State and Centre of mismanaging supply, while authorities traded claims over national availability versus distribution failures.
