What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The Government of Maharashtra initiated drought relief measures for farmers following a severe drought, which has left 75 per cent of the state officially stricken. Devendra Fadnavis announced that Rs 5,000 in advance relief had been credited to 73 lakh farmers, and Rs 4,764 crore in loan waiver benefits was transferred to 4.86 lakh farmers. Separately, the state government cleared the restoration of disconnected electricity supply to public water schemes, provided local bodies pay necessary security deposits and reconnection fees.

The government's financial interventions, including loan waivers and direct aid, aim to mitigate the economic impact on the farming community.
