A soybean farmer from Dharashiv district expressed anger over Maharashtra government's interim drought relief of ₹5,000 by sending the same amount as a money order to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Over 85% of talukas in Maharashtra are drought-affected, with 305 out of 358 sub-districts declared so. Fadnavis said the relief is immediate aid before Diwali, pending full assessments. The farmer spent ₹25,000 on 1.5 acres but earned only ₹3,900 from 60 kg yield.
