Tamil nadu farmer tried to commit suicide in Delhi Last Updated : 24 Jul 2017 02:07:04 PM IST (TN-Famrers)
Tamil Nadu farmers protesting here on Monday one of them tried to commit suicide by consuming 10 sleeping pills apparently because of depression.
A group of farmers from Tamil Nadu, belonging to the areas in and around Trichy, Karur and Thanjavur, have been sitting in a protest at Jantar Mantar since March 14, 2017.
One of the Tamil Nadu farmers protesting here in Delhi Jantar mantar on Monday tried to commit suicide by consuming 10 sleeping pills apparently because of depression, fellow farmers said. Police, however, denied that the farmer had tried to kill himself.
Their key demands include a better drought-relief package for Tamil Nadu’s farmers, since the relief package announced by the government barely covers their losses. After incurring heavy losses as a result of the recent drought (which was officially declared on January 10, 2017), they are finding it difficult to provide even the bare essentials for their families and their own selves.
However Delhi Police dismissed the suicide claim.
