A 44-year-old man from Kudatini in Ballari district died by suicide at his home on Wednesday, with his family alleging that prolonged distress over an unfulfilled employment promise linked to the Ballari Thermal Power Station (BTPS) project contributed to his death. The family had reportedly surrendered 2.5 acres of land for the project in 2001 after being assured that one family member would be provided employment at BTPS.
