Suicide at Delhi Metro stations: DMRC running '#NeverGiveUp' campaign

India TV News  

From young to old, at least eight cases of suicides at Delhi Metro stations have been reported in the past five months, with five of these occurring in September alone. On World Mental Health Day on Thursday, doctors said many people choose getting hit by metro trains to kill themselves as it allows them to die with "minimal pain" and the "chances of survivability is almost none". A senior CISF official said after so many cases being reported in quick succession "we have also asked our team to be alert at stations and CCTV footage is being monitored to see if anyone is loitering at a platform corner or spending unduly longer time". The latest incident was reported on Wednesday, when a man in his 50s, who was undergoing treatment for depression, got injured after he allegedly attempted suicide by jumping in front of a moving train at the Uttam Nagar East station on the Delhi Metro's Blue Line, police said. Asked why people are using metro stations for committing suicide, the doctor said, it is because "people find it easy".
