EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Sambalpur

A 57-year-old farmer allegedly took his own life due to distress over crop loss at Bairagipali village in Jujumura block here on Saturday. The farmer, identified as Ratnakar Bhoi, took the extreme step by consuming pesticide.

Sources said Ratnakar had grown paddy over two acres of land. He was expecting to harvest around 150 packets of paddy. However, due to unfavourable climatic conditions including erratic rainfall, his hopes of a good harvest were dashed. Recently, the farmer harvested his crop and could only gather less than 50 packets of paddy from his land. Since then, Ratnakar was in a state of distress.
