At least 101 farmers' committed in Telengana since it's born
The latest of such farmers’ suicide was reported on June 6 when 28-year-old Beeraiah of Telangana’s Medak district had hanged himself from a tree near his house.
Beeraiah was survived by his 24-year-old wife Manjula, two young children Jaswant, 7, and Devender, 5, and his aging father Singaiah, 65.
The grim statistics were revealed in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for using resources and research to help farmers produce more.
According to reports, Telengana irrigation minister T Harish Rao, however, blamed the authorities from Seemandhra and their system which had neglected the leftover region for decades.
“They never tried to give water to Telangana farmers,” Rao said.
