The farmers blocked the Nagpur-Hyderabad National Highway (NH-44).The protesters alleged that despite repeated assurances, the government has failed to provide adequate relief to the drought-stricken farming community.Speaking to ANI, Bacchu Kadu said, "There was a demand for debt relief. They said to give ₹6000 for soybean and a 20 per cent bonus for every crop. The Bhavantar Yojana is currently in place in Madhya Pradesh. There's nothing here. Not a single crop in Maharashtra is receiving its full price, and the Chief Minister doesn't have time to meet the farmers. The demand for debt relief will remain. Right now, there are 1-1.5 lakh farmers. Another one lakh will come tomorrow."Earlier this month, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced a relief package of ₹31,628 crore for rain-hit farmers in the state.The government also decided to provide cash relief of ₹10,000 to affected farmers.CM Fadnavis noted that more than 68 lakh hectares of crops were damaged due to floods and heavy rainfall in the state.
