Singur-WB: Driven by poverty following suspension of work at an ancillary unit of Tata Motors small car project here, a daily wage worker today committed suicide at his village close to the factory site.
Sixty-five year old Sushen Santra consumed insecticide at Joymalla village, barely 100 yards from the site and died in Singur hospital where he was taken in a critical state, police said.
His two sons Bivash and Uttam were engaged in an ancillary unit where work remained suspended for the fifth day today in the wake of the Trinamool Congress-sponsored dharna.
Santra's wife said they were a poor family and ever since work was stalled in the unit they were going without money.
Meanwhile, some landowners, who gave land for the project, demonstrated at the village demanding immediate resumption of work in the factory.
