The Kerala government sanctions ₹14.4 crore for the rehabilitation of people affected by endosulfan, a pesticide whose use has been linked to serious health problems. The funding is described as part of an ongoing scheme aimed at providing support to identified beneficiaries.
The Hindu reports that ₹2.64 crore of the total is earmarked for 1,000 beneficiaries expected to be newly added to the list. This indicates that the government is expanding eligibility or updating the beneficiary roster as the programme is implemented.
Times of India also reports the approval of ₹14.4 crore for a scheme to support endosulfan victims, aligning with the broad figure and the purpose of the funding. While the outlets share the same core details—the amount and the rehabilitation/support objective—differences in emphasis remain limited based on the provided excerpts, with The Hindu offering additional specifics about the allocation for newly added beneficiaries.
