Maharashtra Farmer Sends âš5,000 Money Order to Chief Minister in Protest Over âPaltryâ Drought Aid
A farmer from Maharashtraâs drought-hit Marathwada region has sent a money order of âš5,000 to the chief minister, saying the stateâs interim relief for crop losses was too small to cover even a fraction of his costs. The protest underscores deep rural distress as farmers struggle with poor yields, mounting debt, and what they describe as inadequate government compensation.
