Ref-cry of widows of the farmers who committed suicides in vidarbha

SUB-SUICIDE TOLL CROSSED 732 MARK-HEALING TOUCH IS FAR AWAY FROM DISTRESS FAMILIES.

Respected sir,

After you visited vidarbha since 1st July more than 125 farmers committed suicide which is record of his own but his not due to your visit and announcement of Rs.3750 crore package, it’s failure local administration when p.sainath wrote last week in Hindu that creditability of Maharashtra is at lowest then answer for maximum suicide after your visit to vidarbha become more clear.

Highly corrupt officials and irresponsible political leaders have added fuel, in vidarbha agrarian crisis none local administration will take help of recent flood as cause of distress to hide it’s on going failure. Total farmers committed suicide since June 2005 has reached 732 mark is all time high in India comparing all states where suicides are being reported, please note.

You have visited vidarbha and told at the meeting with local administration that we want to give sense of healing to the distress families and you arranged to Rs.50 Lacs to each collector of six district of west vidarbha in order to redress hardship of families whose bread earner lost life in vidarbha agrarian crisis, I am reproducing the version as the told us regarding the present hostile condition of these families
