<h1>Opposition demands assembly discussion on fertilizer shortages affecting farmers during crop season</h1> The opposition party demanded discussion in the state assembly regarding fertilizer and seed shortages affecting agricultural activities during the current crop season. Opposition leaders claimed the ruling party government failed to ensure adequate supply, with only 1.01 lakh metric tonnes of DAP supplied against a 3.10 lakh tonne target, and 3.59 lakh tonnes of urea against 7.12 lakh tonnes required. They alleged artificial crisis creation to reduce paddy production and black marketing in private sectors. The Agriculture Minister countered that sufficient phosphatic fertilizers and urea were stored, citing global import challenges and promoting nano fertilizer alternatives. Opposition legislators were suspended after their adjournment motion was disallowed.
