Manmohan to visit Vidharbha

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will visit the Vidharbha region of Maharashtra on June 30, which has recently registered a high rate of suicides among farmers.

This was decided at the meeting of the Agriculture Coordination Committee chaired by Dr. Singh. The meeting discussed agriculture credit with focus on the factors leading to suicides.

Sources said Dr. Singh felt not enough was being done to address the real issues of farmers, including their debt situation. He asked Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar to come up with a `relief package.'
