Farmer suicides on the rise in Andhra: 157 deaths in two months
The farm lands seem to have once again turned into killing fields in Andhra Pradesh, with more than 80 per cent of the state declared drought-hit and government policies offering no succour to the farmers. At least 95 farmers had committed suicide in just six districts surveyed in October, the number of such deaths went up to 157 in the next one month even as the state government still seems to be in denial.
