Panel to address farmers’ loan waiver concerns

The state cooperative department issued a government resolution (GR) in this regard Friday.

Delays slow down loan waiver process

After more than ten months since receiving applications, the government cleared over 46 lakh applications in March.

However, with the opposition shouting slogans, the house was later adjourned for the whole day.

More than 70-75 lakh in the state still not eligible for new credit.

Accuses previous government of doing nothing to reduce the plight of farmers.

Fadnavis had levelled allegations against the loan waivers declared during the Congress regime.

The government has also rejected the claims of seven lakh other farmers.

Patil also chairs the Cabinet sub-committee looking after the loan waiver.

2,414 farmer suicides recorded this year till October 31.

The Shiv Sena leadership too has asked its leaders to organise local-level agitations.
