Beed Farmers Demand Immediate Release of Compensation for Karanja Victim as
Dr. Lakshman Dasti urges the Maharashtra government to release compensation for Karanja farmers within a set deadline, following the Chief Minister's visit and promises.
Dr. Lakshman Dasti, a senior activist and founder‑president of the Kalyan Karnataka Horticulture Committee, has demanded that the Maharashtra government release compensation for farmers affected by the Karanja incident in Beed district. Although the state has repeatedly promised payment, the funds have yet to be disbursed.
The Chief Minister visited the victims and pledged to provide compensation within a specified deadline. In response, Dr. Dasti urged the government to adopt a uniform compensation scheme and to disburse the money immediately from a humanitarian perspective.
To chart the next steps, Dr. Dasti held a consultation meeting with farmer leaders. The meeting was attended by the district minister, legislators and members of the Karanja Victim Protection Committee, who expressed a positive stance on the issue.
Present at the meeting were Chandrasekhar Patel, Rajappa Kosam, Bheemreddi, Dr. Rajasekhar, Yusuf Mia and Ahmad Mia. They agreed to meet the district minister and legislators to ensure that the farmers’ legitimate demands are met.
The urgency of the matter remains high, and the government is urged to act swiftly to honour its commitments and provide justice to the affected farmers.
