Aid for drought-hit farmers will be decided after ground assessment: Sunetra Pawar

Maharashtra minister Sunetra Pawar stated that aid for drought-affected farmers will be decided only after a thorough ground-level assessment of the situation. She emphasized the need for a detailed evaluation before announcing relief measures.

The minister's remarks come as several regions across Maharashtra face drought conditions, affecting agricultural output and farmer livelihoods. The government is expected to conduct field surveys to determine the extent of crop loss and distress.
