It is saddening to state that the number of Suicide cases have reached the highest level in 2022 across Balochistan. During the last month, this intensity rose to a greater level. The estimates show, that approximately 42 people have committed suicide in Balochistan since January of which 7 are women and the others include men, youth, and children. In this regard, the Makran division has witnessed the most cases in which the most affected district is Kech where during the last ten days about 4 cases of suicide were reported.

            However, the reasons behind the suicide couldn't be known. According to psychological shreds of evidence, in Turbat, most of the cases may have been the result of family pressures and mental illness. And among these several cases are concealed. It is pertinent to mention here that, at the government level, no proper steps are taken in order to properly examine the reasons leading to certain tragedies.

Henceforth, I request the government of the time for timely actions so as to refrain more people from committing suicide.
