NAMCHI, 15 May: Suicides continue to rob Sikkim of people, and the age-groups remain as erratic as the trend remains unexplained. In the latest instance, a 13 year old girl committed suicide by hanging at home at Sisney in West Sikkim near Jorethang on Tuesday night. The suicide was detected early this morning. While a police case has been opened to look into the suicide, it is obvious that there can never be any convincing answers to explain a suicide by a 13 year old. It is time that the civil society realized that suicides are not police cases of “Unnatural Deaths” for the cops to investigate, but a challenge which needs to be addressed in a collaborative effort between the government and civil society organizations.
