local media is covering it..but no news really in bangalore.

see background in : http://farmer-suicide-and-it.wikispaces.com/

if anybody can help pushing the issue forward please let us know. a
team is visiting the family on friday and should have a report.



Update : A reporter visited the family yesterday. this is what i hear
1) The family apparently committed suicide just for 80,000 Rs( 120 000
Rs with interest)
2) Only routine visit by some official
3) No compensation
4) More sad and horrible - the people are resigning that this is a
fact of life around the village are considering compensation to a
matter of luck and fate.
