Mallannasagar oustees unable to find any wage employment suited to their limited domain skills
Neveuri Narasimha Reddy, who had committed suicide by consuming pesticide at Sangapur double bedroom houses on Sunday, was new to the two businesses — vehicle servicing and fast food centre — he had started. He had burnt a hole in his pocket to the tune of about ₹ 5 lakh and no idea on how to improve the business. Unable to come out of the debt trap, Narasimha Reddy took the extreme step. Narasimha Reddy was from Etigaddakishtapur in Toguta mandala and was one among 1400 oustees from the village who lost their lands to Mallannasagar. The condition of almost all the oustees is similar, with minor variations if any. All of them knew only farming and had no knowledge of any other occupation or livelihood.
