Poultry will be recognised as part of farming sector: KCR

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday assured a delegation of the poultry industry that called on him that the State government would positively examine their request to recognise poultry as part of agriculture sector. The delegation led by Telangana Broilers Association president G. Ranjith Reddy and Hyderabad Layer Farmers Association president K. Mohan Reddy explained to the Chief Minister that poultry units were suffering severe losses due to heavy increase in all input costs including power and feed. Responding to their pleas, the Chief Minister told that the government had information that about 25,000 poultry units were there across the State and the problems of the industry would be sympathetically examined. When contacted, Mr. Mohan Reddy stated later that they had made some specific requests to the Chief Minister on power charges as Rs.
