FARMER SUICIDEs

Hyderabad: Leader of Opposition in Telangana State Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir has accused the TRS government of failing to take steps to tackle possible agrarian crisis in view drought conditions.

In a statement here on Friday, Shabbir Ali said the hopes of a good monsoon and prospects of bumper crop were belied. The total sowing area in the State had come down by about 35 per cent for the third consecutive season.

The crop failure in the last two seasons was followed by a spate of suicides by farmers, he said. In order to avoid a similar situation during this season, the State government must formulate a strategy and give an assurance to farmers that it would help them in time of distress.

Else, he warned that the Congress party would file cases against the TRS government if any farmer committed suicide. "We will lodge complaints under Criminal Negligence, Abetment to Suicide and other relevant sections if the government failed to prevent suicides by farmers.
