A youth tried to commit suicide in the Collectorate premises of Balaghat. He says that one of his shops was demolished. For this he had been applying to the authorities for a long time but he was not being heard.
State Chief Minister Mohan Yadav is on a one-day stay in Balaghat district, and the district administration and police administration are making continuous efforts to prevent any untoward situation from arising during his arrival.
In this context, before his arrival, a high voltage drama was seen in the Collectorate premises. In fact, despite continuous applications and requests, the youth resident of Birsa reached the public hearing organized in the Collectorate office when the problem was not resolved.
Expressing his displeasure over the problem not being resolved, he poured kerosene oil on himself and his family and attempted to commit suicide.
The security personnel and other government employees present at the spot reached the spot and intervened. As soon as information about this was received, Additional Collector KC Thakur and Kotwali Inspector Prakash Vaskale reached the spot and after giving advice to the young man and his family, they took him away from the spot.
Was angry at losing his job
- While attempting self-immolation, Birsa resident youth Ajay Meshram told that he had a grocery and paan shop in the local bus stand which he ran along with his entire family.
- This is how they were earning their living, but without any information, the grocery shop was demolished on a holiday, and its paan shop was thrown away somewhere.
- Since then, he along with his entire family has been approaching the authorities pleading for justice, but he is not being heard. The youth told that he has also submitted a memorandum to the SDM and Collector.
Five year old son has kidney failure
- The youth told that while his father Gyandas and mother Danikala Bai have grown old, his son Ihaan Meshram is undergoing treatment in Nagpur for his kidney failure.
- In such a situation, they are facing financial problems due to their employment being taken away. Neither are they able to get treatment nor are able to fill their stomach.
- Due to this, he has taken this step with his family.
- A day before the arrival of the Chief Minister, the youth Sandeep Soni, who was on hunger strike demanding employment, had also warned of self-immolation during the arrival of the CM, which the police took up and took action against him.
