Dharma Patil

The bereaved family of Dharma Patil, an aggrieved farmer from Dhule, who committed suicide at Mantralaya last month, will now get a revised compensation of Rs 54 lakh for his land that was acquired for a solar power park. Sources in the government said the compensation has been revised considering the demand made by the family, especially Patil's son, who also owns a piece of land adjoining his father's. The Dhule district collector submitted a revaluation report to the Energy Department, which will clear the proposal for paying compensation through the state power generation company MahaGenco.
