Worried over crop losses and mounting loans, two farmers committed suicide and four others died of shock in the state in the last 24 hours. 

Apparao, 55, consumed pesticide at his residence in Kapuumilada village in Santabommali mandal of Srikakulam on Tuesday. He was depressed after his three-acre crop was damaged in the rains. He took the land on lease and cultivated paddy. 

V Krishna Murthy, 52, a marginal farmer of Vanjagi village in Amudalavalasa mandal, consumed pesticide to end his life after his paddy crop in five acres was damaged in the rains. 

Lakshmipuram Venkateswar Rao, 42, died of a massive heart attack in Kothapalem village in Krishna district on Tuesday. He lost the crops in four acres. "He went to his field in the morning. Overcome by shock, he collapsed. Even before he was shifted to the hospital, he breathed his last," a relative said. Rao had been crying over the crop loss since four days. 

Two farmers in Srikakulam district also died of shock. G Joga Rao, 45, of Tekkali mandal and J Chinnavadu, 65, of L N Peta mandal died on Monday after their crops were marooned in the rain waters. Sources said both farmers incurred huge debts to cultivate the crops. 

Another farmer died of heart stroke in West Godavari on Monday. Miriyala Satyanarayana, 42, collapsed in his agriculture field and died at Suryarapupalem village in Undrajavaram mandal. Satyanarayana took two acres on lease and cultivated paddy. "He was crestfallen after the crop was damaged in the rains. He could not bear the shock," a relative said.
