V&E cracks down on illegal sale of fertilisers
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|September 02, 2025
ACTING on Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's directive to curb illegal fertilizer sales across Andhra Pradesh, vigilance teams launched statewide raids, uncovering widespread irregularities.
Between August 23 and 31, 286 teams inspected 598 fertiliser outlets, seizing 934 metric tonnes of illegally sold stock worth ₹1.83 crore and registering 67 cases. Additionally, 1,911 metric tonnes of hoarded fertilisers valued at ₹4.30 crore were temporarily seized, leading to 124 cases. Criminal charges were filed against eight shop owners for regulatory violations.
During a review meeting at his Undavalli camp office on Monday, the Chief Minister instructed officials to take stringent action against dealers and shop owners involved in hoarding and black marketing, which he said causes undue hardship to farmers.
