Maharashtra Farmers Put Village 'For Sale' Over Decades-Long Irrigation Neglect

Residents of Tulshi village in Maharashtra have staged protests over a prolonged lack of irrigation water that has persisted for decades. Despite the village's proximity to a major irrigation project, it has received no benefit from the infrastructure. The situation has worsened recently, with no rainfall recorded over the past 45 days. Villagers have escalated their demonstrations, including launching an indefinite hunger strike, to pressure the government into action. The symbolic act of putting the village 'up for sale' underscores their deepening frustration over official inaction.
