Farmers complain of dry spell induced crop loss in excluded talukas from drought GR

Farmers in several talukas of Maharashtra’s Nanded district say a prolonged dry spell has damaged their crops. They allege that inaccurate weather‑station data caused these areas to be omitted from the official drought list, leaving them ineligible for government relief. The grievance highlights concerns over the reliability of drought assessments and the resulting lack of aid.
