THOOTHUKUDI A group of 41 farmers from Melakaranthai village in the distict submitted a petition in the Collector’s Office seeking action against a buyer who allegedly cheated the corn farmers to the tune of ₹ 15 lakh after buying the produce from them. The Melakaranthai farmers, led by president of Karisalbhoomi Vivasaayigal Sangam Varadharajan, said the growers, who would usually get the yield of 25 bags of corn per acre, could get only 5 or 6 bags of corn this year due to unseasonal rains in January last and the Fall Armyworm attack.
