A farmer couple from Pothireddpally village in Telangana’s Medak district attempted suicide due to mounting debts of Rs. 5 lakh, incurred while arranging their daughters’ weddings. The husband succumbed to the poison, while his wife remains in critical condition at Gandhi Hospital.
A disturbing incident unfolded at the IKP procurement center in Annaram village on Sunday, where farmers Guguloth Keema Naik and Punnamma attempted self-immolation in front of hundreds of people. Fellow farmers quickly intervened, saving them from the desperate act, and then staged a protest at the center to show solidarity with the couple.
