The government plans to issue the Panchayat election notification within the next 7 to 10 days, setting the election process formally in motion.
The cabinet meeting, which lasted nearly four hours, also cleared several major proposals, including the Gig Workers Bill, aimed at improving welfare and protections for platform-based workers in Telangana.
Another key point on the agenda was the Telangana Rising Global Summit, scheduled for December 8 and 9. The government plans to complete the summit first and only then move into full election mode.
The detailed discussions on local body elections reflect the government’s intention to maintain momentum following its recent electoral gain and prepare strategically for grassroots polls across the state.
