Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced a four-month employment scheme starting after Sankranti to support workers. With reservoirs critically low and many pump sets dry, the government will monitor water supplies, provide cattle fodder and drinking water, and create additional workdays. Telangana farmers demand drought relief, white water report, and compensation up to ₹30,000 per acre to safeguard crops amid El Niño impacts.
