Karnataka Assures Minimum Rs 5,000 Drought Relief to Eligible Farmers
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara announced that every eligible drought-affected farmer will receive a minimum of Rs 5,000 in relief, clarifying that those who got Rs 2,000 or Rs 2,500 in the first instalment will receive the balance later. The government cited Union guidelines but said it would exceed them, with payments already made to over 1 lakh farmers in Yadgir district. The BJP criticised delays and discrepancies in the relief distribution.
