Pimpri-Chinchwad: Shiv Sena (UBT) Holds Protest Demanding Loan Waiver, Compensation For Rain-Hit Farmers

**Pimpri-Chinchwad: Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) City Unit Protests for Farmer Compensation and Loan Waiver**

The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) Pimpri-Chinchwad city unit organised a protest march on Wednesday in front of the Tehsildar’s office in Nigdi. The protest aimed to demand adequate compensation for farmers affected by excessive rainfall and a complete loan waiver for farmers across Maharashtra.

According to Uddhav Sena workers, heavy rains have recently battered various parts of the state, disrupting daily life and causing significant losses to farmers. In response, the party has urged the Maharashtra government to provide fair compensation to those impacted by the adverse weather conditions. Additionally, they have called for a complete and unconditional loan waiver to alleviate the financial burden on farmers.

The march was led by key party leaders including District Chief Gautam Chabukswar, City Chief Sanjog Waghere Patil, and City Organiser Rupali Alhat. They were accompanied by prominent members such as Chetan Pawar, Romi Sandhu, Vaibhavi Ghodke, Tushar Navale, Dhananjay Alhat, Kailas Nevaskar, Yuvraj Kokate, Dnyaneshwar Shinde, Parth Gurav, among other officials and party workers.

### Opposition Parties Demand Full Loan Waiver

The demand for a full loan waiver for farmers has been a recurring issue raised by opposition parties in Maharashtra. The Shiv Sena (UBT) has repeatedly highlighted this matter, referencing their previous tenure in government where such measures were implemented.

Recently, speaking to the media in Pune, NCP-SP MP Supriya Sule also emphasized the necessity of a loan waiver, stating, “Farmers need this.” She called on the Maharashtra government to prioritise the welfare of farmers and provide the necessary support during these challenging times.

The protests and demands reflect growing concerns over the impact of excessive rainfall on agriculture and the urgent need to support the farming community in Maharashtra.
