Farmer's Desperate Protest Highlights Access Issues in Beed

A distressed farmer from Parli, facing an inaccessible route to his land, attempted to set himself on fire. Police intervened just in time, preventing a potential tragedy.

Dnyaneshwar Dhaifale, from Shirsala village, gained attention on social media after a video emerged of him holding a matchstick and seeking responses from local authorities. He has been pleading for an accessible path.

Authorities confirmed that Dhaifale filed a complaint with the tehsildar last year. The farm obstacles have hindered his ability to cultivate crops. The tehsil office plans a spot inspection this week to address the issue.
