Four farmers commit suicide

April 17, 2017

Bengaluru, Apr 17: Four farmers, including a father and son, have committed suicide in different parts of Karnataka.

A young farmer and his father committed suicide within a span of a few hours unable to bear the financial loss incurred in agricultural activities at Gulladamane village in Tarikere taluk of Chikkamagaluru district.

While 21-year-old Yogish consumed poison around 4 p.m. on Saturday, his father Srinivas, 50, in grief over his son’s death, took poison on Sunday morning, according to Lingadahalli police. The family has three acres of land with areca and coconut trees. As there was no rainfall, the family had sunk a few borewells in their farm by spending a huge sum borrowed from different sources.

But none of them yielded water. Yogish, who was looking after agriculture, died in a hospital later on Saturday evening. His father consumed poison in his farm on Sunday morning and later died in a hospital in Shivamogga. Srinivas is survived by wife, son, and a daughter. Based on the statement given by his son Pradeep Kumar, Lingadahalli police have registered two separate unnatural death reports.

In Koppal district, a farmer was found hanging at his residence in Lebagere village of the taluk on Sunday morning. It is said that the farmer, identified as Ramanna Hadapad, 32, took the extreme step after all the four borewells he had sunk in his field failed to yield water. Ramanna had availed a loan of Rs. 1.75 lakh for sinking the borewells. Koppal Rural police have registered a case.

In Bidar district, a 48-year-old farmer ended his life at Karpakapalli village in Humnabad taluk on Friday. The farmer has been identified as Shamrao Chatnalli.

He had borrowed Rs. 5 lakh from banks and private moneylenders, his family members told the police. Bemalkheda police have registered a case.

New Delhi, Jun 27: Wasim Akhtar, a journalist and founder of an online news portal, is helping the poor and needy people in the ongoing lockdown.

Not only is he helping them financially but also providing emotional support and setting the right example of humanity.

"I was very disturbed during the first 14 days of lockdown especially after seeing such sad videos about needy and poor people. But then I decided to move out of my house and help these poor people despite the fear of COVID-19 coronavirus. We supply ration to around 200 people every day so that their families won't sleep hungry," narrated Wasim Akhtar.

Waseem Akhtar and his team are contacting daily wagers and other needy people who have been locked jobless in their houses for the past 70 days. They are the people who will not beg for food to anybody, rather choose to sleep hungry. They are making sure to help the people in the remotest places by directly transferring the money in the accounts of needy people.

They have been feeding many migrants at Kurla and VT stations. "At VT station, there was a group of Tamilian migrants among which there were six women and two men, who didn't know Hindi or English language, who were helpless and nowhere to go to, we send them back to their natives," said Wasim when asked about it.

The Giving Care Foundation also funded the funeral of a 65-year old man at the Worli crematorium. They took care of the expenses of the delivery of a Kolkata-based woman whose husband was stuck in Mumbai. Along with this, they arranged everything for the funeral of a young girl who died after her prolonged illness amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Being a Muslim myself, I urge all the fellow Muslims that limit your expenses and help the poor and needy in such times," concluded Wasim Akhtar.
