A young farmer from Nashik committed suicide after failing to bear the burden of damage to crops due to unseasonal rains. Dyneshwar Bhikaji Adake, 32, a resident of Nanegaon, hung himself in the early hours of Monday.

Villagers said Adake had developed four acres of land as a vineyard, which was damaged due to unseasonal rains last fortnight. With mounting debts, he hung himself from a grill after midnight. Police have registered a case of accidental death.

A farmer from Ugaon had also committed suicide on November 20 this year as his vineyard was damaged due to unseasonal rains.

“Farmers are busy battling the fungus and pest attack on the plants and crops that were drenched in the fields. Some are busy clearing their fields,” a farmer said.

Farmers whose vineyards survived the rains now need to use heavy pesticides, and stocks with the companies have reduced. “Chances of expired pesticides or duplicates have increased,” a farmer said.

“All this will result in price hikes and short supply when the grapes reach the markets,” stated Pushkar Hingne, who grows grapes.

An all-party delegation staged a rasta roko at Pimpalgaon on the Mumbai-Agra highway on Monday and blocked the road for Maharashtra minister for agriculture Radhkrishna Vikhe-Patil, who was traveling on the highway.

Led by Shiv Sena MLA Anil Kadam, NCP MLA Dilip Bankar and other party leaders, farmers blocked the convoy of the minister and disrupted traffic on the busy road.

Vikhe-Patil met the farmers and assured them of help. “The government is seriously thinking of damage control measures and assistance. We will arrive at a decision soon,” he told the agitators, who then withdrew the rasta roko
