#Punjab #Barnala #FarmerSuicide Read story here:
Another indebted farmer, Lavpreet Singh (22) from Bhotna village here, has committed suicide by allegedly consuming pesticides. Now, no male member is left in his family as Lavpreet was the fifth to end his life due to the mounting debt.
Earlier, his great grandfather, grandfather, father and his brother had committed suicide.
Mother of the deceased Harmale Kaur and his sister Manpreet Kaur are the only ones left in the family now, unable to understand how they will repay the debt of Rs 7-8 lakh, taken from banks and private money lenders for agriculture purposes.
“Since the suicide by my husband Kulwant Singh on January 5, 2018, Lavpreet was under depression, as he was unable to pay the debts, despite various efforts to arrange money. The compensation file of my husband’s death case has been gathering dust in the Barnala Agriculture Department office, but none is willing to even listen to us. My son committed suicide when he failed to repay the debts,” Harmale said.
