Farmers in Karnataka's Humnabad and Chitaguppa taluks are thronging Raitha Samparka Kendras (RSKs) amid fears of a fertiliser shortage. The sowing target for the kharif season has been set at 62,500 hectares in these taluks, prompting farmers to secure supplies early.

The agriculture department has assured farmers that adequate arrangements are being made to avoid any shortfall.
