Another cotton farmer ended his life on Thursday by swallowing pesticide ahead of the visit of a 31-member Parliamentary Committee, headed by the veteran CPM leader Basudeb Acharya in the suicide-prone districts of Yavatmal and Wardha on March 2 to ascertain the root causes of farmers suicides in the cotton belt of the region and why it continues to haunt the region despite several bailout packages. The victim, Sunil Ganesh Vasake (37) of Chachora village in Yavatmal district took the drastic step when he could not repay loans amounting to Rs 1.50 lakh, borrowed from the district central cooperative bank and the Central Bank, following crop failure and receiving a profitable price for raw cotton this year.
