Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the Maharashtra government will announce financial assistance for mango and cashew orchard owners in the Konkan region who have suffered heavy losses due to the dropping of blossoms. He assured that the relief package will be declared in the assembly before the current session concludes.

Mango and cashew are key crops and an important part of Konkan’s identity. Unseasonal conditions have caused large-scale damage this year, affecting farmers’ livelihoods. The chief minister stated that the government recognises the seriousness of the situation and is committed to supporting affected growers.
