Maharashtra CM thanks Centre for drought aid

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today thanked the Centre for sanctioning Rs 2,000 crore relief for the drought-affected farmers in the state.

"This is for the first time that any state has received such a large drought relief assistance," Fadnavis said here today.
