The Chief Minister noted that over 68 lakh hectares of crops were damaged due to floods and heavy rainfall in the state. The relief package is aimed at covering damage in 29 of the 36 districts of Maharashtra.

As per ANI, Kadu has demanded that if the state government does not have the money to waive farmer loans, the Centre should step in.
"Now we will stop trains after 12 noon... Our farmers are drowning in debt. If the state government doesn't have the money, the central government should help," Kadu told ANI today.
Earlier, speaking to ANI, Bacchu Kadu said, "There was a demand for debt relief. They said to give Rs 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 on September 9, Maharashtra CM distributed the seventh installment of the Namo Shetkari Mahasamman Kisan Yojana, launched for the financial stability of farmers.
