Lists of farmers impacted by crop losses are being uploaded on the government portal through a special drive, and the sanctioned amount will be directly credited into their bank accounts, Mr. Bharne said in a statement.
"Nanded is the first district where farmers, whose crops have been affected due to heavy rains, will get 100% relief," he said.
