Government of Maharashtra should survey crops that may have dried up due to inadequate rainfall said Dharashiv MP from Shiv Sena Omprakash Raje Nimbalkar. He demanded compensation and financial aid for the eligible farmers in the Marathwada region.
Mr. Nimbalkar sent a letter to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. In the letter, he said that there has been almost no rainfall in the region of Marathwada for the past 45 days. “The soybean crop has dried due to lack of water. Farmers have faced a financial loss due to this and are in trouble. The situation is serious, and surveys should be conducted through the revenue and agriculture departments to ascertain the losses. The farmers who have faced losses and are eligible should be given financial assistance,” he added.
The Marathwada region has faced a rainfall deficit since June 1. The region has so far received 381 mm (77%) average rainfall in all eight districts against the expected 498.8 mm.
The rainfall deficit in Dharashiv Lok Sabha constituency stood at 25.3%. Dharashiv district has received rainfall of 301.5 mm against the average expected rainfall of 403.5 mm, according to a revenue department report.
