In Maharashtra, an estimated 1.25 to 1.50 crore acres of farmland are suffering due to excessive rainfall, according to State Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne.

Bharne, a member of the NCP, announced that the existing financial assistance for farmers falls short of addressing the recent devastation.

He emphasized that the Mahayuti government plans to enhance support for farmers affected by the monsoon, with additional concessions expected before Diwali.

Intense rainfall, particularly during the kharif season, severely damaged crucial crops like soybean and cotton, notably in central Maharashtra, Marathwada, and parts of the western region.
