Govt releases 65 crore for farmers hit by rain in '23, '24
Mumbai: After a prolonged delay the revenue department led by senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Thursday released Rs 64.75 crore for farmers affected by heavy rain between June 2023 and Dec 2024.
Former MPCC president Nana Patole came down heavily on the state govt for the huge delay in providing financial assistance to the aggrieved farmers. "Crops and houses were damaged between June 2023 and Dec 2024, while the financial assistance has been after a massive delay. Then it was a major natural calamity. Govt must fix the responsibility for the delay," Patole said.
From the govt resolution issued on June 12, it appears that most of the district collectors and Divisional Commissioners had submitted a specific report on cost of damage, panchanama and required financial assistance last year between June and Aug, while the assistance was released in June 2025.
As per the GR, it is expected that the list of beneficiaries is displayed at the collector office and website of the collectorate.

DNA testing will be done. Just one person survived,' he said. Offering his condolences, CM Saha added, 'I express my condolences to those who have passed away.
