Mandya: There is no end to the farmer suicide incidents across the state even after the state government announced the farm loan waiver scheme. On Tuesday morning, an elderly farmer couple committed suicide in Bommenahalli village of the K R Pet taluk. Boralingegowda (60) and his wife Lakshmamma (52) are the ones who committed suicide.

According to the locals, the couple had borrowed over Rs 5 Lakh for the farming activities. But due to crop loss and price fluctuation they were unable to repay the loan. Fearing auction of their land, they committed suicide.

The couple had two acres of farmland.
