A farmer from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district received only Rs 6 as compensation for extensive crop losses due to flooding, highlighting the inadequate government response to agricultural crises. This follows similar reports of farmers receiving minimal aid under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, despite the state announcing a Rs 31,628 crore relief package for affected regions.
