Cut in fertiliser prices demanded

Unguturu: The AP Rythu Sangham has demanded that the government reduce the prices of fertilisers to help farmers overcome losses to some extent. Addressing the media here on Sunday, the Sangham district president GV Krishnarao and secretary K Srinivas said that the farmers were already worried with increase in investment and low returns.

The increased prices of fertilisers were a bolt from the blue for them. Companies had increased the prices of fertilisers abnormally because of the faulty policy of the Central government. The government should take immediate steps to cut the prices and help the farmers to continue in farming.
