SURYAPET: Chappidi Krishnaiah, farmer from Munagala mandal attempted suicide in front of District Collector T Vinay Krishna Reddy. He tried to take his own life by consuming pesticides during the Prajavani programme at Suryapet Collectorate on Monday.
The farmer’s land was encroached three years ago and since then he has been fighting for it. The Munagala Tahsildar office employees were not taking his matter seriously and did not do anything to help the farmer.
He went to the Prajavani programme being held at Suryapet and began to explain his problems. Due to the mental pressure and tension that he has been under, for the past three years, he decided to take his own life in front of the Collector.
