Papaya, grape & pomegranate orchards in Solapur damaged
Kolhapur: Mallinath Patne, who cultivates papaya in Boramani village of south Solapur tehsil, invested Rs 5 lakh in his papaya plantation on five acres, anticipating returns of Rs 25 lakh. The heavy rainfall left his plantations waterlogged for 12 days, leaving him unable to access his field and resulting in substantial crop damage. "I have never before seen rain in our area in May. The plantations did not survive due to the rain over the past two weeks. The papayas were about to start ripening, and I was expecting Rs 25 lakh in revenue by selling the fruits in the first week of June. I hope govt steps in and grants compensation," said Patne. On Wednesday, a talathi and agriculture officer visited Patne's field for damage assessment, estimating losses between Rs 20-25 lakh. Vairag-based grape cultivator Balu Jadhav said, "I spent nearly Rs 2 lakh to prepare the grape vineyard. It was time for flowering. Now, the rain has destroyed the eyes or the shoots that bear the grapes at the end." He is waiting for the damage assessment of his vineyard. The districts of Satara and Solapur experienced unprecedented rainfall. Satara recorded approximately 300mm of rain since May, significantly higher than its monthly average of 30mm. Solapur received 217mm, far exceeding its May average of 22mm. Unlike other regional rivers that flow year-round, the waterways in Solapur and parts of Satara adjacent to it are seasonal. Recently, these typically dry rivers have been flowing vigorously, causing extensive damage to fields, roads, bridges, houses and sheds. Solapur's district administration has initiated loss assessment, which will accelerate once weather conditions improve and fields become accessible. "Right now, the administrative machinery is invested in relief and rescue work. In the next couple of days, the work of estimating the losses to the crops, individual properties, and public infrastructure, from poles to roads and bridges, will start. The proposal for compensation to the farmers, property owners, and assistance for rebuilding public infrastructure will be submitted to govt as soon as possible," Kumar Ashirwad, the Solapur district collector, told TOI.

The police have seized three mobile phones, 11 passbooks, 14 cheque books, and several ATM cards of various banks from the accused, who were sent to judicial custody for 14 days. According to the police, the complainant was added to a WhatsApp group in March where people shared their investments in share markets. One of the accused later personally texted him on WhatsApp and lured him to invest in the share market through their company. Police acquired leads from technical evidence after scrutinising bank accounts involved in the transactions, before arresting Patne on April 25. On questioning him, the police were led to the other two accused, who were arrested on April 26.
