A heart-rending story from Maharashtra’s Latur district has left the people emotional. A viral video from Ahmadpur taluka shows an elderly farmer couple working their field under extreme poverty, so much so that the husband ties himself to the plough like an ox, while his aged wife walks behind, guiding the plough through the parched land. This distressing scene reflects the harsh reality of rural poverty, where elderly citizens, instead of resting in their twilight years, are forced to labour in scorching fields due to the lack of basic farming resources.
