The Agriculture Minister of the state stated that the cause of farmer suicide is due to family dispute. The district collector also reported in the same line.
Now we met the farmer’s wife. We further queried her whether anyone from the government side has turnout to them for any help, she denied. Neither the minister nor the collector has visited us.
We further asked her how they manage the family. She replied, they have 2 sons and younger one is under medical treatment since last 2 years.
The family has become economically unstable due to medical expenses. Even now they are unable to feed milk to their younger one. The farmer, Khainu Bagarty was the sole bread earner in the family. And he is no more with them. Since last few years they are not getting better harvest. Crop loss took his life. Shortage of electricity in the village and area is frequent. Hardly they get electricity; in the early morning around 6 AM and then around 1 PM in the afternoon. Again it is available in the night around 9 PM. Rest of the time the village is deprived of electricity. In these circumstances the farmer could not irrigate his crop and got loss.
Now the family has no food grain to manage their coming days. They are clueless. The sole bread earner is left and government is playing politics.
