Debt-ridden farmer commits suicide in Gurdaspur Punjab In yet another incident of farmer suicide, a debt ridden farmer allegedly committed suicide on Wednesday night in Punjab's Gulelra village in Gurdaspur district. The farmer had a loan of 4.5 lakh rupees to pay off, said the police. The farmer, who had taken a loan took the drastic step after failing to pay his debts. The incident took place in the wee hours on Wednesday night. The farmer often had quarrels with  people living in the village as he could not repay the amount he borrow from people of the village too.

India is an agrarian country and 70 percent of its people are dependent on it. Farmer suicides in such a scenario are even more worrisome.

In a similar incident today, another debt-ridden farmer allegedly committed suicide by jumping before a train in Doraha's Malipur Village in Ludhiana district.
