Maharashtra Floods: State Announces ₹31,628 Crore Relief Package for Affected Farmers

The monsoon rains in Marathwada, Maharashtra, have caused severe flooding, resulting in 108 deaths, affecting 54 lakh farmers, and ravaging 41 lakh hectares of farmland. The Maharashtra government has announced a relief package of ₹31,628 crore for flood-affected farmers, but disbursement is still ongoing. The floods were exacerbated by high discharge from dams and changed river courses, with the Sindphana River being particularly affected.
