A paddy farmer from Dandepally mandal in Mancherial district attempted to end his own life owing to the delay in purchase of his produce by government agency concerned. Yeddu Buchanna consumed weedicide at the paddy purchase centre at Nelki Venkatapur in the mandal as the staff did not weigh his produce lying at the centre for over a month. He was shifted to Mancherial hospital. Meanwhile, farmers staged a rasta roko after the incident.
