flag Maharashtra farmers protest delayed relief after flood damage, calling Diwali a "Black Diwali" due to unfulfilled promises.

flag Maharashtra opposition leaders, including NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, criticized the state government for inadequate relief to farmers hit by severe September rains and floods, particularly in Marathwada. flag They labeled Diwali a "Black Diwali" due to widespread crop loss and insufficient aid, with only a fraction of the promised Rs 31,628 crore relief disbursed. flag Protests, including hunger strikes and black-clad demonstrations, were held across districts over delayed compensation, incomplete surveys, and unfulfilled promises like loan waivers. flag Leaders urged immediate action and warned of intensified agitation if demands are ignored.
