TS farmer climbs atop tower, threatens to jump | Business Line
A few days ago I wrote a post about a farmer who travelled all the way from his village in Nizamabad to Hyderabad to end his life to convey the last message -- That the city hardly bothered about the travails of those in the country side.
Yesterday, Sammayya, a farmer from Warangal, threatened to end his life by jumping from a cell tower, not very far from the Assembly that had just begun a discussion on the farm crisis in the State. But timely intervention, cajoling by a local cop helped. He gave in.
His life saved, for now. But what about lakhs of other farmers who faced similar financial challenge?
The crisis getting worse by the day.
