The delegation further sought Rs 10 lakh compensation for families of persons who died in rain-related incidents in the state.

Over 100 people have died in rain-related incidents since the onset of monsoon in Maharashtra.

The Congress also sought Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh compensation for farmers holding rain-fed and horticultural land respectively, and a stay on the increase in power tariff in the state.

Since coming to power, the Shinde-led government has stayed, reversed or modified the decisions of the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government of the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress.
