High suicide rate in Mizoram

By The Assam Tribune

AIZAWL, Sept 14 - At least 75 people committed suicide in Mizoram since January, chairman of the Aizawl-based New Life Charitable Society, Zawmsanga Sailo said.

Corroborating the high suicide rate in the State, Police CID (Crime) unit officials said that 72 people had committed suicide since January 1 till July 31, as against 41 during the corresponding period last year.

Sailo said that suicide was on the rise in Mizoram, which has barely a population of 10 lakh due to increase in the incidence of depression and other mental problems among youths. � PTI
