Overview

• Telangana saw intensifying unrest with highway blockades, PACS staff confined, stone pelting at a Mahabubabad outlet and a warehouse raid, as long queues and token disputes stretched across multiple districts.
• Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said there is no scarcity in Telangana and framed the crisis as a distribution challenge, directing collectors to adopt advance tokens via Rythu Vedikas and tighten inter-department coordination and policing at centres.
• Andhra Pradesh reported an additional 53,000 MT of urea reaching Kakinada, Gangavaram and Krishnapatnam ports, while CM N. Chandrababu Naidu cited 94,892 MT in current stocks, denied any shortage, warned against misinformation and flagged seizures of diverted supplies, even as YSRCP alleged black marketing and announced statewide agitation.
• In Madhya Pradesh, farmers in Rewa confined officials at a distribution centre before police intervened, the RSS-affiliated Bhartiya Kisan Sangh set a September 15 statewide protest plan, and the state detailed enforcement actions including 53 FIRs and scores of licence suspensions and cancellations.
• Odisha districts reported queues, road blockades and rationing at cooperatives during peak kharif demand, prompting directives to streamline distribution and rush emergency stocks, while officials and ministers elsewhere cited RFCL outages and import constraints as compounding factors.
