A woman farmer, Mannemma, collapsed while waiting in a long queue for urea at Tileru PACS in Narayanpet on Thursday. She was rushed to hospital and is stable. Meanwhile, officials began applying indelible ink to farmers to curb repeat entries.
According to Asifabad Sub-Inspector T Mahender, Sandaveni Sumalatha (30), the wife of Raj Kumar, resorted to the drastic step on Tuesday after she was depressed over the financial crisis triggered by losses in agriculture.
