Telangana CM Announces Compensation for Fallen Greyhounds

Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy announced Rs 1 crore ex-gratia for families of three Greyhounds commandos killed in a Maoist attack. Additional benefits include Rs 80 lakh under 'Security Scheme', a house site, and a government job for a family member.

In a significant move, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has pledged a special ex-gratia package worth Rs 1 crore for the families of the three Greyhounds commandos killed by a Maoist-triggered landmine in Mulugu district.

The Chief Minister's Office issued a press release late Friday detailing further assistance, including Rs 80 lakh under the 'Security Scheme', a 300-square-yard house site, and employment opportunities for a family member of each victim.

The tragic incident occurred on May 8, when police teams, including Mulugu police and Greyhounds units, were conducting operations to detect and defuse landmines and explosives near Wazeedu police station.
