After ‘PayCM’, it’s ‘Payfarmer’, as Raitha Sangha expresses anger over ‘govt apathy’
Chamarajanagar: Members of the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha in the district have come to the streets staging a campaign with posters and slogans demanding the government to provide better relief to farmers.
The campaign was launched recently in Gundlupet, Chamarajanagar district, where ‘Payfarmer’ posters were put up on the walls of the guest house in the town.
The posters, incidentally, are similar in looks to the ‘PayCM’ poster that raised much hue and cry in the state a few days back.
Shivapura Mahadevappa, farmer leader, said, “The problem of farmers does not subside regardless of the party in power. No government pays attention to the needs of farmers. Some people are so focused on gaining power that they are disinterested in the overall development of agriculture and farmers.”
The leader also demanded that a suitable price be fixed for the farm produces.

Bengaluru: PUC student dies by suicide, hours after results were declared
Bengaluru (PTI): A second-year Pre-University Course student allegedly died by suicide at her residence here, hours after the exam results were announced, police said on Friday.
Tanushree (17), a science student, reportedly failed in three subjects, which is suspected to be the trigger behind her taking such an extreme step, they said.
However, no suicide note was recovered from the spot, except her hall ticket, which was found lying on the bed.
According to police, the incident came to light on Thursday around 3.30 pm, shortly after the results were announced.
She hung herself from the ceiling fan when no one was at home. Her mother had gone to work, a senior police officer said.
Citing preliminary inquiry, the officer said it is a clear-cut case of suicide. She was apparently distressed over failing in three subjects and had also called her friends to discuss the same.
When she did not respond to their calls and messages later, her friends decided to check on her, he said.
Based on her mother's complaint, a case of unnatural death has been filed, with Hebbal police investigation indicating it to be a case of suicide, police added.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
