Ludhiana, November 8
A 35-year-old farmer, Sukhjit Singh, allegedly committed suicide by taking poison at his residence at Dhamot Khurd village in Khanna on Tuesday.

Members of farmers’ unions visited the house of the deceased. They demanded that the government should waive the loan of the deceased farmer.
