Dhanpal Yadav was desperate for fertilizer, and had been going from centre to centre, deeply worried about his crops, his family said.
A farmer in Madhya Pradesh died allegedly after taking poison after failing to get fertilizer for his failing crop. Dhanpal Yadav, 44, had been queueing up for fertiliser for 15 days in distribution centres at Ashok Nagar.
Dhanpal Yadav owned 12 bighas (around 4 acres) of land in Piprol, which falls in the Gwalior-Chambal district. He was desperate for fertilizer, and had been going from centre to centre, deeply worried about his crops, his family said.
His younger brother Vivek Yadav and nephew Vijaypal Yadav alleged that he was already in despair over low yield from his farm last season. "He had been going to societies that were distributing fertilizer for 10-15 days, but was unable to get fertilizer. He consumed poison on Thursday evening," said Vivek.
Yadav was brought dead to the Ashok Nagar district hospital. "It appears to be a case of poisoning. His family said he had consumed poison. But the actual cause of death will be established by the autopsy," said Dr Gaurav Bansal.
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
