Activists of the Human Rights Forum (HRF) and Rythu Swarajya Vedika (RSV) have urged the State government to take immediate steps for implementation of GO 43 pertaining to grant of financial assistance (₹7 lakh) and rehabilitation of the families of farmers who committed suicide.
A team of HRF and RSV functionaries visited six families of farmers who resorted to the extreme step between August 2020 and December 2021 in three mandals of Vuyyuru division in Krishna district. “All of them were tenant farmers and their principal source of income was from agriculture. With their breadwinner gone, the families are in a state of distress,” said V.S. Krishna, HRF Coordinating Committee member for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
