Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has instructed Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand and other senior officials to channel the majority of fertilizer supplies through Markfed to ensure farmers face no inconvenience in procurement.
During a teleconference on Sunday to review fertilizer availability, Mr. Naidu emphasised that officials must maintain adequate stocks, particularly of urea, at Rythu Seva Kendras and cooperative societies to prevent shortages. He directed that 70% of fertilizers should be distributed through Markfed and stressed the importance of strict monitoring to prevent diversion.
