GANGTOK, 17 Feb: The spate of suicides in the state of
Sikkim continues unabated. Following reports of about 7 suicides last week,
this week also starts with the more gloom. A 45-year-old woman took her life on
16 February at Sherathang, East Sikkim.
The deceased had reportedly been suffering from depression
for a long time. The cause of the depression was reportedly a pain in her left
leg which refused to heal. The deceased was found hanging from a tree in the
jungles below her house.
On 14 February, another suicide had been reported. A driver
with the HRD Department committed suicide by hanging in his house. The 45 year
old was a resident of Adampool, under Ranipool police jurisdiction. This is reported
to have been his second attempt at committing suicide, an earlier attempt
having been made about a year ago.
