Overview

• Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Rs 1,829 crore from the approved package has been processed at the district level for 31.64 lakh farmers, with deposits expected within 8–10 days.
• NDRF and SDRF teams continue rescues, with airlifts reported; officials say 159 villages in Dharashiv are flooded, over 750 houses are damaged, 186 cattle are lost, and crops on more than 33,000 hectares are ruined.
• Uddhav Thackeray demanded a Rs 10,000 crore central package, direct credits with no bank loan deductions, and payouts before panchnamas, while Congress sought a 'wet drought' declaration and higher per‑hectare compensation.
• Sharad Pawar urged rapid panchnamas and aid that also covers land and soil lost to erosion, a concern echoed by state ministers describing the rainfall as the heaviest in decades.
• Fadnavis authorized district collectors to release compensation for deaths, homes, crops, and livestock, said a proposal to the Centre will follow, instructed ministers to tour affected districts, and noted IMD warnings of more heavy rain on September 27–28.
