Everyone has a story to tell
The Hindu
Every story has a pathetic ending
A demonstration demanding ex-gratia of ₹ 5 lakh as assured by the government to families of farmers who committed suicide witnessed an outpouring of pathetic tales near Indira Park here on Thursday.
Within a span of two years the world of Savara (Shabad) Padmamma turned upside down, literally. She is native of Madaram village in Parigi mandal of Vikarabad district. Her husband Bandaiah had two acres of land and he had cultivated cotton and maize. They had also bought two bulls by spending about ₹2 lakh. Lack of irrigation and failure of bore-well resulted in crop loss. Not only that, he could not even feed the bulls properly due to drought conditions and sold them for ₹40,000.
All these conditions forced him to take extreme step and on August 6, 2018, he committed suicide by hanging.
