The Maharashtra agriculture department has clarified that a Rs 6 payment received by farmer Digambar Tagde was interest, not government compensation for crop losses. The clarification came after the farmer's public complaint during Uddhav Thackeray's visit to flood-affected farmers in Paithan taluka, where significant crop damage occurred due to heavy rainfall and flooding.
