Overview

• Patil wrote to Governor Acharya Devvrat requesting a special three-day sitting to take immediate decisions on relief and rehabilitation.
• After touring Solapur, Dharashiv and Beed, Patil reported washed-away topsoil, destroyed crops and severe livelihood losses for landless agricultural labourers.
• He called for rapid damage surveys and a dedicated relief grant for landless workers who are often excluded from schemes tied to land ownership.
• Pawar pressed for flexible panchanama timelines, coverage of losses that emerge after waters recede, and a broader recovery plan spanning re-sowing support, orchard revival and infrastructure repairs.
• He also urged desilting and soil conservation, relaxed crop insurance criteria, prompt claim settlement, deferred loan recovery or waivers, and distribution of essentials, while no special session or relief package has been announced yet.
