Rajasthan Farmer Forgets Buried Rs 5 Lakh Cash, Termites Damage Notes
A Rajasthan farmer, Mangilal Meghwal, buried Rs 5 lakh in his field to protect it from theft and family spending but forgot the exact location. Nearly a year later, after rainfall and field preparation, the buried cash resurfaced, severely damaged by termites. The family attempted to exchange the damaged notes at local banks but were advised to approach the state headquarters in Jaipur. Financial constraints have made this difficult, and the farmer hopes to recover his savings despite the damage.
