Indian Meteorological Department : A crisis has arisen for the farmers in the state as continuous rain has caused significant damage to crops. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a yellow and high alert for the state, with the possibility of heavy rain in the next 24 hours.
Rain has been ongoing across the state for the past few days and has not stopped even after November 1st. The intensity of the rain remains in Mumbai, Vidarbha, Marathwada, and other regions. Particularly in districts like Konkan, Mumbai, Nashik, Dhule, and Raigad, there is a current situation of extremely heavy rain. A low-pressure area has formed due to Cyclone Montha, which has increased the intensity of the rain.
Farmers have been greatly affected by excessive rainfall. In the Gondia and Jalna districts, unseasonal rain has caused significant damage to rice crops. Not a single rupee of the aid announced by the government has reached the farmers' accounts even after Diwali, leading to an atmosphere of discontent among them. There is a crisis of excessive rainfall across the state, and the administration has warned citizens to remain alert.
