Anantapur Seeks ₹380 Crore Drought Relief Under Six Heads

What's behind this

Maharashtra has created a drought mitigation panel and approved relief of ₹291.91 crore for farmers affected by floods. The steps come after deficient rainfall in parts of the state in 2026, leading to a drought declaration in talukas identified under the Kharif season’s Trigger‑1 assessment. A crop‑loss survey has started in 365 drought‑hit mandals, and the state government is likely to pay ₹10,000 per acre to farmers who lost crops due to the El Niño‑related rainfall deficit. Earlier, the government had released ₹37 crore for Murasu cyclone relief under G.O. Rt. No. 120.
