HRF Urges Andhra Pradesh to Compensate Farmer's Family
A farmer named Narasimha Murthy in Andhra Pradesh took his own life because he was in a lot of debt due to poor harvests and crop failure.
He had borrowed money and couldn't pay it back.
A human rights group wants the government to help his family by giving them money, as the government had promised.
The government has a rule (G.O.
43) to provide this help, but the group says it hasn't been done.
They're asking the government to investigate and give the family the financial assistance they're supposed to get.
A farmer in Andhra Pradesh died by suicide due to mounting debt and crop failure.
