A Corentyne rice farmer recently took his own life after he was unable to fulfill his debts due to the increased flooding in his savannah, which left his family in need of support.
The man’s son, Parmeshwar Dindial, 32, of Number 60 Village, Corentyne, told Stabroek News that they found his father, Narine Dindial, 54, of Number 58 Village, Corentyne, dead in his house on June 11. He was discovered by his maid.
“He been a plant like 150 acre of rice and he harvest some and he had about 45 acre more to cut and whatever he harvest out of the rest he find fault because due to the water he nah get much and the 45 acre he didn’t touch anything from it,” the son related.
