It may have been happening in Vidharba region since a few years now but this year it has happened right in the heart of Karnataka.
Heavy rains/flooding caused vast losses to various crops. Lucky if the farmers did not take loan for their crops and if they did, very soon there will be suicide cases from Karnataka too !
It is foolish to blame any govt. for farmer suicides - we must spread awareness and be prepared for such unfortunate situations. Especially by being prepared to preserve rainy water and use it during the days when there will be no rain.
