The Centre has decided to send a team of officials of Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to Telangana to resolve the issues pertaining to cotton procurement in the state. Additional Secretary in the Textiles Ministry, Pushpa Subramanyam said, CCI officials would soon visit the state to look into the plight of cotton growing farmers. <br/><br/>She stated this to former Union Minister and Lok Sabha Member Bandaru Dattatreya who earlier wrote a letter to Textiles Minister Smriti Irani seeking her immediate intervention to resolve the issue. In his letter, Mr Dattatreya had expressed concern that the cotton farmers in the state are on agitation mode due to want of minimum support price for their produce. He said, 48 lakh bales of cotton in 12.50 lakh hectares is expected to come to market during the current season and the procurement price being offered to farmers is only 2,000 rupees against the MSP of 5,100 rupees per quintal last year.
