The money is meant to help farmers and others hit by drought in several parts of Maharashtra.
The trust that runs the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai has given ₹10 crore to help people hit by drought in Maharashtra. The money goes to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Divya Marathi reported on 9 November.
Drought in many parts of the State has left farmers short of money. The gift is meant to help them and others hit by the dry spell.
The Chief Minister’s fund pays for relief in disasters and for medical help to people in need. The State government has already taken other steps against the drought, including opening reservoir land in 304 talukas to farmers for growing fodder.
