Two farmers in Chhattisgarh's Korba district attempted suicide due to alleged difficulties selling paddy at Minimum Support Price (MSP) and bureaucratic hurdles. One farmer consumed poison after his farmland area was reportedly marked as less than owned, limiting his sale quantity. The other farmer's attempt occurred days prior. In response, a patwari was suspended, and officials received show-cause notices. Farmer leaders criticized the administration's seriousness, while political parties blamed the ruling government and called for action.
