Overcome with stress and worry about his debts, he reportedly collapsed due to the immense mental pressure, according to family members.The family rushed Manibhadra to the Binjharpur Community Health Center (CHC), but the doctor declared him dead after some time.The family is now mourning his loss and has demanded compensation from the government.“My father went to the field and saw that the entire crop was ruined. When he saw the damage, he collapsed because he had taken a lot of loans from cooperative societies and others. After we took him to the hospital, the doctor declared him dead. We don’t know how we will survive now, and we are asking the government to help us, or else we will also face the same fate,” said a family member.
