Meanwhile, the Punjab government before Assembly elections made promises for the loan waivers among the farmers, but the farmers are still facing the daily life struggle and hence they are committing suicide. Likewise, there are some farmers who were majorly hit by the heavy rainfall as the monsoon washed out the farms and which is a major jolt to the farmers.
