HYDERABAD: Yet another farmer died in Kamareddy district while drying the paddy that had become wet due to unseasonal rains. Chaakali Devaraju, 45, of Yadaram village in Bibipet mandal died on Wednesday. Villagers say it could be due to exhaustion as he was engaged in drying the paddy.
This is the second such death in the district. On April 19, another farmer, who was also drying the wet paddy, reportedly suffered a heart stroke and died. Bhoomaiah of Polkampeta village was drying paddy at a procurement centre and suffered a stroke and died reportedly due to exertion..
Farmers have been complaining that rice millers were refusing to buy paddy or were calculating less weighment as the produce has more moisture.
Meanwhile in Nalgonda, additional collector V Chandrasekhar visited the paddy procurement centre on the town outskirts and inspected the paddy. He assured the farmers that the paddy would be procured from them and that they should not be agitated.
