Suicides among soldiers
Sir,
Refer Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) report regarding reduction of suicide cases among Indian soldiers DE June 28. Literary meaning of suicide is killing one self intentionally. Failure to withstand any situation leads one to such actions. Stressful life conditions, separation from family for long periods, uncompromising family atmosphere, rough and unkind behaviour of superiors and all types of tensions prompt one to take extreme steps like suicides. Commitment of such crimes becomes a blot on the society and the organisation where one serves. Relations between officers and jawans should be cordial and friendly. Friendly behaviour and required welfare measures by superiors can adequately minimise such incidents. A soldier who lives and dies for the country should be fully facilitated and enabled to have relaxed and dignified life as others sleep only when he awakes.
Yours etc…
