Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Speaker Thammineni Seetharam on Monday said that the use of technology and new machinery would ensure more yield and make agriculture activity lucrative. He distributed seeds and fertilizers at subsidised rate at Akkulapeta village of Amadalavalasa mandal in Srikakulam district..
Speaking on the occasion, he said that the State government was extending its full support to farmers with the supply of seeds and fertilizers at subsidised rate apart from providing financial assistance directly. Mr. Seetharam urged farmers to upload their details in e-crop applications so that they would get subsidy and other benefits.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
