Criticism is mounting against the Telangana government for failing to curb the sale of fake seeds. Compared to 1,200 quintals seized in 2024, only 260 quintals have been seized so far this season. The agricultural task force and department are accused of negligence, as only 550 quality samples were collected against a target of 12,000. Farmers are suffering due to the sale of banned HT cotton seeds, with arrests dropping from 127 last year to 39 this year, and no PD Act cases filed under the current administration.
