Damage to crops due to heavy rains:

 

The crops have suffered a lot after heavy rains in the state. Farmers of Vidarbha and Marathwada are troubled by natural calamities. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Nana Patole has attacked the state government on this matter. He said that the farmers have not yet received the announced assistance of the Shinde-Fadnavis government. The administration is making panchnama at a slow pace and crops have been damaged even after the withdrawal of monsoon.

 

 

 

Patole said this year nature caused a lot of damage to the farmers. Heavy rains lashed parts of the state, including Vidarbha and Marathwada, ruining standing crops in the fields. Soybean, cotton, tur, maize, and millet crops have been ruined. He warned that the government should help the farmers at the earliest, otherwise the Congress party would intensify the state-wide agitation.
