- Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has directed newly appointed ministers to begin visiting their assigned districts from Wednesday to assess the impact of floods and drought conditions.

- The directive underscores the dual challenge of extreme weather—flooding in some regions and drought in others—straining state resources and agricultural output.
- While the government frames this as proactive governance, opposition parties may scrutinize the timing and adequacy of the response, particularly ahead of any future electoral cycles.
- Observers will watch whether these visits translate into concrete relief measures, compensation timelines, or policy shifts for water management.
