GANGTOK, 18 April: A 27-year-old man committed suicide yesterday at a construction site at Ray Khola here.
The deceased, it is informed, was a resident of Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, presently working as a welder at a construction site at Ray Khola.
It is informed that on the night of 16 April, the deceased returned home drunk and following an argument with his wife, left the house.
The wife, it is informed, searched for him but could not trace him and it was only at around 6 a.m. the next morning that she found him having committed suicide in a storeroom.
We are very concern about raising suicide rate in sikkim and we all are vociferous in this issue. But the certain question has to be answered:
ReplyDelete1. What is the demographic profile of the person commiting suicide.
2. Is the person who has died due to suicide is a temporary or permanant resident of the state.
3. The education status of the person and his access to the medical facilities before he has taken such drastic action.
without answers to these questions we will not be able to come into a concrete conclusion and set a plan to reduce the rate of suicide in the state.
