Patwari Suspended After Farmer Commits Suicide Due To Clerical Error

After a 45-year-old farmer Dhaniram Markham committed suicide due to a clerical error in paddy procurement, the patwari of Chattisgarh's Bastar division has been suspended. Due to the error, the procurement limit of Dhaniram was shown as 11 quintals, instead of 100 quintals. Reportedly, Dhaniram had committed suicide since he could not afford to pay his previous loans with the profit from selling 11 quintals of paddy.
