According to the Times of India report, the Maharashtra govt has asked Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank and district central cooperative banks to stop collecting farm loans in scarcity affected areas in a bid to offer some relief to farmers.
Nearly 23 thousand farmers are expected to benefit from the relief measure. Vidharbha and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra are reeling from a scarcity condition.
If State Consumer forum is presented a petition against Weather Gods for deficiency in service of providing enough rains to farmers, do not be surprised.
