Some youths who have returned from foreign employment have committed suicide due to the pain of their wives marrying for a second time after taking the money they earned by risking abroad.

People from all areas and communities of the district have committed suicide. District Police Office Hetaunda has informed that people ranging from 11-year-old girls to 77-year-olds have committed suicide. All suicide cases in the district are not reported to the police. Health workers say that suicide cases in remote villages are cremated according to tradition without informing the police, as the body has to be brought to the headquarters for post-mortem after informing the police.

"It is seen that most of the suicide cases are due to depression," said Dr. Dawadi said, "People who live alone and sleepwalk choose the path of suicide. It is necessary to study from a sociological point of view why such incidents are increasing every year and try to reduce such incidents."

Doctors argue that the incidence of suicide is increasing year by year due to lack of tolerance and patience, lack of effort from the government level to discourage suicide. They claim that there is an increase in such incidents even though there is no government homework and awareness program to prevent suicide.
