Crop loss has apparently driven a farmer to end his life.
Police said farmer Narayanasamy, 58, of Pillaiyaarnaththam near Kovilpatti, who was working with a spinning mill in Rajapalayam till a few years ago, took up farming on his land in his native place. As he enjoyed bumper harvest last year, he had sown maize and black gram this year.
As the crops suffered extensive pest attack this year despite his best efforts to save the crops, he was reportedly depressed for the past few days. He went to the field on Saturday but did not return home.
