Unable to clear debts, another weaver ends life in Telangana’s Sircilla

In a suicide note, Ganesh said he decided to end his life as he was unable to clear a loan of Rs 5 lakh borrowed from Sircilla Urban Bank and a private finance firm

Rajanna-Sircilla: Unable to clear his debts, a weaver, Dusa Ganesh (50), died by suicide in Sircilla. Ganesh, who was staying alone in his house after his wife and daughters left him, ended his life by hanging himself at his Gandhinagar residence. He was found hanging by neighbours on Friday morning.

The body was shifted to Sircilla government hospital for postmortem. Police registered a case and are investigating. Police found a suicide note near the body, in which Ganesh said nobody was responsible for his suicide and that he had decided to end his life as he was unable to clear a loan of Rs 5 lakh borrowed from Sircilla Urban Bank and a private finance firm.

The finance company created more troubles for him, he said. Unable to tolerate harassment by the company, he had decided to end life. He was unable to clear debts as there was no work, he wrote in the note. Ganesh was survived by his wife Suvarna and daughters Sumasree and Pujitha.

Responding to the incident, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said another weaver had died due to the indifferent attitude of the State government. Weavers were unable to get employment as looms have not been operated during the last one year due to lack of orders from the State government. Unable to clear debts, Ganesh ended his life abruptly, he said.

Sircilla has again been made a suicide hub by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, he said, asking whether the Chief Minister could hear the sound of affected weavers’ families crying.

The Chief Minister had promised change, he said, asking Revanth Reddy to tell the daughters of Ganesh that he was busy in revenge politics. The situation was the same for farmers too. Suicide notes and debt papers were the only properties that the children of weavers and farmers in Telangana would inherit, he lamented.
