The Telangana government has reportedly completed the third and final phase of the crop loan waiver program, with an allocation of Rs 5,644.24 crore, and a total of Rs 17,000 crore has been disbursed under the scheme.
Digital Desk: Several farmers in Telangana on Saturday protested, accusing the Congress government of failing to fulfill its Crop Loan Waiver promises. In a demonstration of their frustration, the farmers staged a mock funeral procession for Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, parading an effigy of him through the streets of a village in Thalamadugu Mandal. Chanting "CM down down," the protesters struck the effigy with slippers, leading to a stampede-like situation as police intervened to control the demonstration.
