Warangal Urea Shortage Deepens With Protests and Two Farmer Deaths

Officials promised fresh stocks on Monday under police-managed distribution.

Overview

  • Farmers in Pragati Singaram blocked a 20‑tonne urea truck after half the load was diverted to Shayampet, and police assured Vasanthapur would receive its share on Monday.
  • Two farmers from Govindapuram — Banoth Lalya and Veeranna — died after a road accident while riding to a PACS to buy urea, according to their families.
  • Relatives and farmers protested at the Mahabubabad district hospital, and former minister Satyavathi Rathod visited the families and called for government assistance.
  • Rathod queued at Gundratimadugu for urea for her 5.5 acres and received only one bag, questioning official claims that supply issues were resolved.
  • Clashes broke out in queues at the Sultanabad Cooperative Society, and in Odela officials pledged 450 additional bags on Monday after only 100 arrived for 200 farmers.
