A heartbreaking video from Maharashtra’s Latur district has gone viral, showing a 76-year-old farmer, Ambadas Pawar, and his 73-year-old wife Muktabai, ploughing their field with their bare hands. With no cattle, no tractor, and no financial support, the couple is forced to till their 2.5-acre land using a wooden plough, driven only by their own ageing bodies. The visuals have sparked outrage and sorrow on social media, raising serious questions about the lack of government support for elderly farmers in rural India.

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza were seen at a polling booth on Monday, accompanied by Riteish`s mother and brother, as part of the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The Deshmukh family cast their votes at a polling booth in Latur, Maharashtra. After voting, the actors spoke outside the booth, encouraging citizens to practice their right to vote. Genelia shared, "This is an important day. Voting is crucial. Every citizen must go out and vote. I think this is very important." Riteish stated, “I came to Latur from Mumbai to cast my vote. Everyone should step out of their homes and cast their votes. Today is an important day. Everyone should definitely vote.”
