The commission has also asked the state government to provide free treatment to those who are still suffering from such an infection.<br /> <br /> The commission has alleged that the farmers&rsquo; rights to life and livelihood has been grossly violated due to the negligent attitude of the government. Its order says that most farmers in the country are not adequately literate and are relying on government agencies for information on the safe use of agricultural products and ancillary techniques. In this case, the NHRC has said, it appears that due to the lack of proper awareness about the method of spraying pesticides on cotton crops, farmers have taken ill.<br /> <br /> In the Yavatmal district in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, 20 farmers and agricultural labourers have died after inhaling poisonous pesticides while spraying cotton crops since July this year. More than 500 others have inhaled the poisonous spray and fallen sick, and are admitted in various hospitals. A few have already lost their vision, hearing or speech. More may die during treatment.<br /> <br /> Yavatmal is not the only district where farmers have died due to the inhalation of pesticides. In the whole of Vidarbha, which comprises 11 districts, over 32 deaths have been reported and close to 800 others are in hospital. What makes Yavatmal stand out is that 20 farmers and labourers died during a short period of time.

He complained that he was feeling uneasy, so his wife Manda and son Sachin took him to a local hospital. He was then moved to a government hospital in Yavatmal. He passed away 12 days later. Manda told The Wire, &ldquo;I am illiterate and don&rsquo;t know how to take care of my son and two daughters now. Two lakh rupees sanctioned by government as compensation are not given yet.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> Bandu Chandrabhan Sonule, a farm labourer from Manoli village in Yavatmal district, went to spray pesticides at the nearby village of Aamdi on September 19 and did not come home later. He was feeling ill while working and was admitted to the taluka-level government hospital. The doctor there said that the poison was spreading in his body and asked him to go to a district-level hospital. On September 23, he died.
