Uttar Pradesh Family Seeks PM Narendra Modi's Nod To End Life

Hathras: Contaminated water in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras is pushing residents to the wall. Unable to get clean drinking water for themselves, a father and his three daughters have written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his permission to end their lives. Chandrapal Singh, a farmer from Hasayan block in Hathras, has been making rounds of government officials with complaints about the water in the area tasting like brine (salty). "We cannot drink this water. The crops are also drying because of excessive salt in it. My pleas for action have fallen on deaf ears and I have now sought permission from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to end my life, and also that of my minor daughters," he told reporters. (IANS)
