Politics74% of Maharashtra Declared Drought-Affected, Farmer Crisis Deepens
Maharashtra faces a severe drought with 265 out of 358 talukas, about 74% of the state, declared drought-affected by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Crop failures and hardships have increased farmer distress, with many families struggling. Since January, 465 farmers in Marathwada have committed suicide. Despite 12 relief schemes, only 108 families have received aid due to paperwork delays, worsening water scarcity for livestock and rural populations.
