Gandhisagar Lake under Surveillance:
Last year, a total of 42 persons committed suicides at Gandhisagar Lake. Between January and June, six suicides were reported, while during July and December 2020, total 36 persons ended their lives at the lake as lockdown restrictions came at ease.
“Owing to rise in numbers of suicide at the Gandhisagar Lake, we’ve raised our surveillance around the lake. Our officials boarded on newly enabled Balanced Vehicles; patrol the lake premises daily, between 5 pm and 8 pm. The observation is followed by the Beat Marshals and other officials during the night. We’ve kept remote contacts with local shopkeepers and vendors who would inform us if any suspicious person found setting alone near the lake premises for too long. Acting swiftly on the inputs, Ganeshpeth Officials rush to spot and provide counseling. We’ve also written to Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to repair the necessary infrastructure near the lake premises,” said the PI.
