In view of providing financial aid and assistance to farmers affected by heavy rains and floods, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that the government will seek the Centre's assistance. While asserting about the flood-affected issues on Thursday, Pawar said that farmers in the state will get compensation. He further stated that a letter to that effect will be submitted to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

Beed and other districts of the Marathwada region in the state witnessed a large-scale devastation of crops and residential properties following heavy rains and flooding earlier this week. The heavy rain caused floods across rural Maharashtra, prompting the opposition parties to ask the government to declare a wet drought.
