Everyone must support farmers: TJAC

Mancherial: Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) Chairman Prof M Kodandaram said that the crop yield in Mancherial and Komaram Bheem-Asifabad districts decreased in the past three years due to substandard fertilisers and spurious seeds. He attended as the chief guest at Rytu Nirudyoga Sadassu held at Mancherial headquarters on Tuesday.
