Prayers for Rain | CM to Perform Varuna Yagam at Nagarjuna Sagar Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will perform Varuna Yagam on August 10 on the banks of the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, seeking bountiful rains and good inflows into the Krishna and Godavari rivers and local tanks. The ritual will be followed by a Purnahuti, with prayers for the prosperity of agriculture and livestock. The yagam comes as Telangana's monsoon began with a 61% rainfall deficit in June, though July brought 224.3 mm against the normal 227.6 mm, narrowing the monthly deficit to just 1%. The cumulative deficit for the season currently stands at 5%. #Telangana #VarunaYagam #NagarjunaSagar #Monsoon

Breaking Bottlenecks | Telangana Puts ₹5,000 Cr Behind Irrigation Telangana has released ₹2,000 crore for compensation and rehabilitation to fast-track irrigation projects held up by land acquisition and R&R issues. Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said CM A. Revanth Reddy has assured a total of ₹5,000 crore, with funds to be prioritised wherever land acquisition, rehabilitation, forest or environmental clearances are blocking progress. The government is targeting projects that have remained stalled for around 4.5 years, with officials asked to set deadlines and submit action-taken reports. The focus is clear: remove bottlenecks, complete the works and get irrigation water to farmers without further delay. #Telangana #Irrigation #Farmers #WaterProjects

Drug-Free Campuses | Telangana Plans Tougher Accountability Telangana is considering a new law to penalise repeat drug abusers and peddlers while holding educational institutions accountable for drug activity on campus. Over the past 2 years, around 820 students have been caught by Telangana Police for alleged drug abuse or peddling—about 600 consumers and 220 peddlers—prompting stronger action. Under the proposed framework, repeat offenders could face loss of fee reimbursement and other welfare benefits, while institutions that wilfully ignore campus drug activity could risk losing recognition. With nearly 35,000 educational institutions in the state, the government is moving towards a stronger prevention and accountability system. #Telangana #DrugFreeCampus #YouthSafety #Education
