Jajpur,Octo 16 : A debt ridden farmer of Jajpur district committed suicide by consuming pesticides on Sunday night after his agricultural land has recently been damaged as dust and other particles from stone quarries has settled on the paddy crops .

The deceased farmer Nityananda Parida (68) of Bajabati village under Dharmasala block raised paddy crops on his three acres of land after obtaining a loan amount of one Lakh from village moneylenders to purchase paddy seeds and fertilizers. But, his land was recently covered with dust from the nearby illegal black stone quarry works which ruined all his hopes to maintain family.

The deceased farmer is survived by his widow , a daughter and a son.

When contacted Chakravarti Singh Rathore, the collector of Jajpur said “ After knowing the incident , I directed the Additional District Magistrate to submit a report after visiting the village. After getting the report, we will take proper action ”.
