The district suffered from poor rainfall for almost a year and both, agriculture and MSME sector are hit. Hence, there have been appeals from those affected for restructuring of loans. The issue was discussed at the meeting and it was resolved to appeal to the State-level committee for the same.
If approved, all loans except retail loans will benefit, an official said.
