Mumbai, Oct. 24 -- Fishermen across Maharashtra will receive electricity at the same subsidised rates currently enjoyed by farmers. This major relief applies to all sectors related to the fishing industry, following a decision by the Mahayuti government.
The move follows the recent recognition of fisheries as an agricultural activity. Fisheries Minister Nilesh Rane had actively demanded that fishermen receive the same benefits as farmers-a demand now approved by the state government.
