The state government has announced immediate relief measures for flood-affected families and farmers, including changes to the District Planning and Development Committee (DPDC) rules, relaxed e-KYC norms, and instructions to banks not to initiate loan recoveries.

On Tuesday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that around 60 lakh hectares of farmland were damaged in recent floods. He added that a detailed report is being prepared, and once ready, a proposal for financial assistance will be sent to the Government of India (GoI). “The Union government has assured complete support. But a formal proposal is needed. Once the survey is completed, we will request financial assistance from the GoI,” Fadnavis said.
