PM Modi to inaugurate revamped RFCL soon, says G Kishan Reddy

HYDERABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the revamped Ramagundam Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) soon. With works at the RFCL plant nearing completion and Kisan brand of urea production set to begin at the revived plant, the PM will open the fertiliser unit, Union minister of state for home G Kishan Reddy said on Saturday. At the inauguration of Krushi Vigyan Kendra in Tunk village of Kowdipally mandal in Medak district, the Union minister said production in the Ramagundam plant will begin in a month or two. “Under the leadership of Modi, farmers across the country are benefited in many ways,” Kishan Reddy said. He said the agri laws would enable farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country and for the best price. “If a product manufactured in a company can be priced and sold wherever the company wants to, why can’t farmers do the same thing?” Kishan Reddy without referring to the farmers’ agitation in Delhi opposing the new farm laws. Kishan Reddy also said it was because of the Centre’s policies that farmers were able to get 24-hour power supply and fertilisers in time. “Government has taken measures to see how much urea is needed in every part of the country. This is the reason why we don’t see farmers queuing up at fertiliser shops ,” he said. Previously, urea used to arrive at the port from abroad. But, the government has taken measures to see how much urea is needed in every part of the country and distribute it accordingly
