HRF, RSV Demand Aid for Farmer Suicide Victims
A group called HRF and RSV wants the government to help families of farmers who killed themselves.
They visited villages and found that the government's help program isn't working well.
Many families haven't received money or support, even when the deaths were confirmed as farmer suicides.
The group says politics is getting in the way, with some families denied help because they don't support the ruling party.
They want the government to fix the program and provide more aid, including helping farmers with their debts.
HRF and RSV demand comprehensive aid for farmer suicide families.
A fact-finding team visited seven villages and met families of nine deceased farmers.
G.O. 43, designed for farmer suicide relief, is largely unimplemented.
Financial assistance is allegedly politicized, denying aid based on political alignment.
HRF and RSV seek amendments to G.O. 43, including debt settlement.
