While the rest of the country has been blessed with a good monsoon, this is the third year that rain gods have played truant in Karnataka, leading to water riots and more than a dozen suicides by farmers in distress. The Opposition has promised to request the NHRC to inquire why six members of a family in Muktarampur, Koppal district, who committed suicide, were driven to this extreme step. Officials say there could be more water riots because the storage has dipped to an all-time, three-decade low in the major reservoirs of the state.
