Amid an acute shortage of fertilizer during the sowing of rabi crops, a 44-year-old farmer has died by suicide in Madhya Pradesh.
The farmer, from Ashok Nagar district, allegedly ended his life after he was unable to get fertilizer from distribution centres.
He was disturbed over the low yield from his farm in the previous season, said his younger brother and nephew.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
