HYDERABAD: Function halls in Telangana will now store fertilisers. As these facilities are lying vacant due to ban on mass gatherings till May 7, the Telangana government, which had earlier decided to store paddy in government schools, has now directed district collectors to make arrangements for storage of 21.5 lakh metric tonne of fertilisers at function halls in all districts except GHMC area. There are over 500 major function halls in district and mandal headquarters in the state.
