Gaurav Jain, Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi. Today, on the occasion of India’s 78th Independence Day, the whole country is immersed in celebration. On the other hand, a shocking news of a suicide attempt has come from Gaurela, Chhattisgarh. Where a young man climbed a 30 feet high signboard of the Public Works Department in heavy rain with a tricolor flag hanging from a rope around his neck and tried to commit suicide. On receiving information about the incident, administrative officials and Gaurela police reached the spot. They assured the young man of quick action, after which he came down safely.

Let us tell you, during this time the youth has demanded justice from the administrative officials and police by swearing on the tricolor, on which he came down only after the administration agreed and assured him. At present the police has taken the youth to Gaurela police station and is listening to his problem.

According to the information, Ajay Panika, the youth who attempted suicide, is a resident of Irrigation Colony of Gaurela. He took this step due to the ongoing land dispute in the family. The youth said that even after complaining about the matter, the hearing is getting delayed and he is getting mentally disturbed.

It is being told that about 20 days ago, the youth was seen roaming around with a flag in his hand and ‘hang him’ written around his neck. At that time also, the local people had counselled him and sent him home. But today, on the occasion of Independence Day, he has tried to commit suicide.
