The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government sanctioned Rs. 22.50 crores, for farmers, who died while protesting against the Three Farm Laws.
On the 29th of November, Monday, Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, chaired a Cabinet meeting. During the meeting, the Telangana Cabinet approved Rs. 22.5 crore for financial assistance to the families who lost their kind due to the nation wide protest against the laws, which are now repealed by the Central Government.
Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, addressed a press conference after the Cabinet meeting and said, “As announced earlier, the State Government will pay Rs. 3 lakh each to the families of 750 farmers killed during the year-long agitation.” Addressing the media, KCR also urged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government to pay Rs. 25 lakh each to all the families of 750 farmers, who lost their lives. He also alleged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government was behind the death of those farmers.

During the year long protest, a total of 750 farmers were killed.
The TRS President KCR also responded to the criticism of the opposition regarding the compensation to farmers. He said, “Whatever may be the cause of death, under the Rythu Bhima scheme, Rs 5 lakh is paid to the family of the deceased farmer in one week.”
