A 35-year-old farmer of Jagatsinghpur district died by suicide allegedly after his paddy crop was damaged by the recent unseasonal rainfall. This is the third farmer suicide - and sixth death overall - in the state in about a week.
The farmer, Krutibas Swain hanged himself in his house in Sarana village under Tandikula panchayat in Balikuda police limits, on Monday night.
Swain's family members said the 35-year-old was under pressure to repay the loans he had taken from moneylenders and cooperative societies. He also wanted to treat his critically ill father by selling his harvest but the untimely rains put paid to all his hopes. Swain was the sole earning member of his family.
