Farmer Dhanaji Jadhav, 39, is very happy that CM Uddhav Thackeray talked him out of his suicide plan in December over being unable to sell his land to repay a loan. Thackeray had spoken to the collector and, on Monday, Jadhav got a call saying the state was getting the land records on his 7/12 extract suitably amended, freeing him to pay the loan.

mid-day on December 28 had reported about the farmer from Nanded, who had claimed he would commit suicide over loan repayment issues, but changed his mind after meeting Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who spoke to the Collector regarding the problem and assured him of a solution.
