Shetkari Karjmafi: The Maharashtra government has decided to waive the farmers’ loans. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis himself gave this good news to the farmers while speaking in the Assembly. Earlier, it was said that farmers’ loans will be waived till July 5. But even after June 16, farmers’ loans have not been waived. Due to this, while there is an atmosphere of despair among the farmers across the state, now Agriculture Minister Dattatray Bharne has announced a new date for loan waiver.

Dattatraya Bharne has informed that the loan waiver of farmers in the state will be done on or before July 30. Dattatraya Bharne said that the loan waiver process has been delayed due to the changes made by the government in the loan waiver criteria. Shetkari Karjmafi
