Telangana’s monthly expenditure on salaries and pensions has risen sharply to nearly ₹6,000 crore, according to a report by NDTV. The surge follows multiple pay revisions and dearness allowance hikes since the state’s formation in 2014. Senior sanitation workers in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation are reportedly earning up to ₹2 lakh per month, while top engineers in state-run power utilities draw salaries of up to ₹7 lakh monthly. The steep rise in fixed costs has triggered debate over the state’s fiscal sustainability and long-term financial planning. (PC: NDTV)
