Reportedly upset with falling market price for paddy, a 35-year-old farmer allegedly attempted suicide by consuming pesticide at Peramana village, near Sangam, in SPSR Nellore district on Tuesday.
The tenant farmer, Kiran Reddy, who was staging a protest in-front of Tahsildar's office at Sangam along with fellow farmers, allegedly took the extreme step when there was no positive response from the revenue officials concerned to lift their produce offering minimum support price fixed by the government.
