Suicide In Punjab

Most of the kisaans are already in debt because of the mandi taxes. They already work overtime, day and night, to save their families from becoming homeless and from not starving. In Punjab the suicide rates and poverty rates are very high due to these debts. Farmers can’t pay their debt off right away so it keeps piling on until they have no other choice, but to end their own lives. This has been going on ever since the mandi was created in the 90s.
