Kandukur: The Tobacco Board executive director Kaki Suneetha inspected No 26 tobacco auction center in Kandukur and interacted with the farmers on Wednesday.

Suneetha said that she was touring the area to know the issues with the farmers.
She said that the government was trying to provide minimum support price to the farmers and improvise the insurance plan for the tobacco farmers.
She also visited the Tobacco Research center in Kandukur and interacted with the scientists to know about various features of the crop.
