Farmers Demand Ban, Cases Against Panjabrao Dakh for 'Fake' Weather Forecasts
•Grape growers in Pandharpur protested against Panjabrao Dakh and Bangar, demanding a ban and legal action.
•Farmers allege that unaccredited weather experts like Dakh make misleading predictions on social media, causing significant financial losses.
•Maruti Chavan, State President of the Grape Growers' Association, stated that false forecasts led to a drastic drop in grape prices from Rs 100-125 to Rs 50 per kilo.
•Farmers demand investigation into the wealth of these forecasters, questioning how they afford luxury cars like Fortuners.
•Chavan warned that farmers are educated and rely on official sources, not unverified social media predictions, threatening further action if false forecasts continue.
