I also took a loan of Rs 10 lakh to purchase land. Since we did not get water from the borewell, I had to take a loan for the irrigation pipeline. Poor rainfall and the agricultural loans have increased my suffering*I wrote to CM Siddaramaiah on December 5, 2015. But nobody took any action. Do I have any other option but to commit suicide?*Instead of giving Rs 5 lakh as compensation to the suicide victim's family after their death, we sort out the problem when he is alive
