CM Reddy urges timely Urea supply to Telangana, seeks hike in domestic quota
New Delhi/Hyderabad, July 9 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has urged Union Fertilisers and Chemicals Minister J P Nadda to ensure the timely supply of urea allocated to the state, especially during the crucial monsoon cropping season. During a meeting held at the Union Minister's official residence in New Delhi on Tuesday, the Chief Minister expressed concern that Telangana received only 3.07 lakh metric tons of urea between April and June, as against the required 5 lakh metric tons for the Kharif season. He emphasised that with major irrigation projects receiving water and cultivation activities underway, any further delay in fertiliser supply could severely impact farmers. Revanth Reddy informed the Minister that for the month of July, Telangana is supposed to receive 63,000 metric tons of domestically produced urea and 97,000 metric tons of imported urea. However, as of now, only 29,000 metric tons have been supplied. The Chief Minister appealed for an increase in the allocation of domestically produced urea to the state and flagged the issue of insufficient railway rakes being allocated for urea transport. He urged the Union Minister to intervene and direct the Railways Department to provide more rakes to ensure seamless delivery. The meeting was also attended by Telangana government's Sports Advisor A.P. Jitender Reddy, MPs Dr. Mallu Ravi and Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, Special Secretary to the Chief Minister Ajith Reddy, State Agriculture Secretary Raghunandan Rao, and Central Schemes Coordination Secretary Dr. Gaurav Uppal, an official statement said.

Bharat Bandh today LIVE updates: Workers and farmers to go on strike against Govt. policies, say trade unions
About 30-40 crore workers and farmers will participate in the general strike on Wednesday (July 9, 2025), claimed leaders of 10 central trade unions (CTUs) in New Delhi. The leaders had said that the workers supported the 17-point charter of demands of the strike, called against the Union government's policies. However, the Union Labour Ministry on Tuesday (July 8, 2025) claimed that about 213 unions, including the RSS-backed Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), have informed it that they will not participate in the nationwide general strike. The CTUs said the Centre is trying to put pressure and intimidate the workers but the strike will be a success. The Ministry maintains that it is ready to hold discussions with the trade unions, while CTUs say all tripartite mechanisms such as the Indian Labour Conference have been undermined by the incumbent government. An association of bank employees on Monday (July 7, 2025) said the banking sector would also join the nationwide strike. Follow the latest updates here:
