NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to announce immediate relief for drought-affected farmers and rural families. His 17 demands include ₹1 lakh per hectare for affected farmers, ₹25,000 for agricultural labourers, loan and electricity-bill waivers, 25 kg of free foodgrains per family and faster approval of water tankers. Pawar also sought a special three-day Assembly session.
