Puttur: Girl student dies after consuming poison in hostel


Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (MS)

Puttur, Jun 12: A girl student from Kokkada, residing in a hostel in Padil, Puttur, tragically took her own life by consuming poison on June 11.

The deceased has been identified as Rekha (15), daughter of Sridhara Acharya, a resident of Netrala in Kokkada village.

Rekha's mother, Pushpa, passed away last year, and her father works as a daily wage laborer. Rekha had been mentally distressed following her mother's demise. She had been staying at a relative's house and attending school from there.

Initially, Rekha had hesitated to join the Padil hostel in Puttur, but eventually agreed after much persuasion. It is reported that she expressed her dislike for the hostel and found English to be a challenging subject. During her time in Kokkada, she used to socialize with her friends and was known to excel academically.

A case has been registered at the Puttur police station in this connection.

 

 

Suicide is not a solution to any problem. Kindly seek the help of mental health experts if you are under any kind of distress. Call toll free helpline number 9152987821.

    It is getting serious and worrisome trend. Youth and teenagers, feel there is no hope in their future. Students find there are no jobs when they graduate. Graduate find there are no right vacancies that they can apply. Employed find they are paid pea-nuts. With day to day expenses raising, its getting worse day by day. Gone are the days when a family rolling beedies in evening, doing farm job during the day, getting rations from govt, can dream of building a house and educating kids with professional courses like Doctor or Engineer. Today, its a everyday slog for middle class. Hope that freebies offerred by congress, do helps them if not big way, but as a start of some relief.
