Dharashiv MP Requests Crop Loss Survey and Farmer Compensation in Marathwada
Dharashiv MP Omprakash Raje Nimbalkar has urged the Maharashtra government to survey crop losses in the Marathwada region caused by a rainfall deficit since June 1. The region received 381 mm of rain against the expected 498.8 mm, leading to drying of soybean crops and financial difficulties for farmers. Nimbalkar requested compensation and financial aid for eligible farmers, sending a letter to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to address the issue.
