Torrential rains and subsequent flooding have destroyed crops on 83.77 lakh acres of land across Maharashtra over the last one week. Heavy rains battered 654 revenue circles across the Maharashtra. Soybean, cotton, onion, jowar and turmeric are among the worst-hit crops in Beed, Dharashiv, Solapur, Nanded, Yavatmal, Buldhana and Hingoli districts.

Rains and flooding have wreaked havoc in the parts of the state, especially Marathwada region, causing large-scale damage to crops in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nanded, Dharashiv, Jalna and other districts. Solapur district in western Maharashtra also witnessed a similar situation.

Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne said ‘Even if the assessment of a single guntha of a farmer's land is missed, officials will be held accountable. Farmers are in deep distress, and the administration must ensure that no one is deprived of help.’
