Telangana Maintains Power Supply Amid El Niño Challenges
Telangana Overcame El Niño Power Challenge, Says Bhatti Vikramarka · deccanchronicle.com

Telangana faced a big problem this year.

The weather, called El Niño, made it rain less, so there was less water to make electricity in the usual way.

But the state needed more electricity than before because of new projects and more people using water pumps for farming.

The government said they planned ahead and worked hard to make sure everyone still had electricity.

They even started a new service where special ambulances with equipment can quickly fix power problems.

They also give free electricity to many homes and farms, and they take care of the people who work to keep the electricity running.
