She added that the government was also giving Rs 50,000 to journalists who met with accidents. "While many large States in the country restricted accreditation cards to only 3,000 journalists, Telangana is the only State in the country which has given accreditation cards to over 18,000 scribes," she said, adding that the government understands the efforts of journalists reporting from various places, especially those from rural areas.
