- Annamayya District Collector Nishant Kumar announced that the district administration has prepared a climate-resilience action plan to counter expected El Niño effects such as dry spells, high temperatures, and rainfall deficiency.
- The plan includes water conservation, micro-irrigation, drinking water security, livestock protection, and promotion of short-duration and drought-tolerant crops.
- Key measures include Pre-Monsoon Dry Sowing covering over 50,000 acres benefiting about 47,245 farmers, with 22 high-risk and three medium-risk mandals identified for focused interventions.
- The administration has also stepped up the Jaladhara initiative, completing 4,304 water conservation works and restoring 3,443 kilometres of feeder channels, which reportedly improved groundwater availability compared to last year.
What to watch next
- Implementation of interventions in the 22 high-risk mandals as El Niño conditions develop
