Unemployed and unable to feed her five children anymore, a 40-year-old woman farmer set herself on fire in Maharashtra's drought-hit Marathwada region, which chief minister Devendra Fadnavis toured extensively last week. Manisha Gatkal doused herself with kerosene and set herself afire on a Saturday, as the country celebrated Rakshabandhan, inside her home in Ambi village of Osmanabad district, after sending her young children outside.
