In Chhajli village, Kejriwal met four widows of farmers, whose husbands committed suicides recently due to poor plight and heavy debt. “I think that the compensation of Rs three lakh announced by the state government for families of farmers who committed suicide was also embezzled by the corruption officials and politicians, as on ground no such compensation was given to any family”, Kejriwal said.
At Lehal village of Sangrur too, Delhi Chief Minister gave a patient hearing to the grievances of three widows of the single family. In view of the Kejriwal’s proposed visit, state government swung into action and handed over cheque of compensation today morning itself.

Even youth felt fail to enable the treatment of his old aged father, who was suffering with cancer, forcing him to take the extreme step of suicide.
While on the way to Mansa, Kejriwal stopped at a road-side Sher-e-Punjab Dhaba, where people outnumbered to share their views and plight with him and even some of the youths were seen taking out ‘Selfie’ with Kejriwal on their mobile.
