Telangana preparing plans to meet El Nino affect: Bhatti
The Telangana government is implementing scientific strategies to mitigate the impact of El Niño on water resources and agriculture. The plan includes promoting water-efficient crops and optimizing energy management to handle increased demand.
Why it matters
Proactive climate adaptation strategies are vital for regional food security and economic stability in areas vulnerable to extreme weather patterns.
Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said scientific studies are being conducted to understand how temperature variations occurring in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, thousands of kilometers away, impact tanks, streams, and villages in Telangana.
Based on these analyses, effective action plans are being developed, he said while speaking at a State-level awareness seminar titled, From Pacific Ocean Warming to Telangana Preparedness, organised by the Planning Department. Minister for Minorities Mohammed Azharuddin was also present.
Mr. Vikramarka emphasised that the main objective of the seminar is to create awareness at individual, family, village, mandal, and district levels so that everyone is prepared. To protect farmers from financial losses during drought-like conditions, the government is promoting alternative crop patterns that require less water, based on expert recommendations.
