According to another press release, Lunglei Battalion and Serchip Battalion of 23 Sector Assam Rifles under the supervision of Inspector General of Assam Rifles (East) delivered lectures on ‘World Suicide Prevention Day’ at Tuipang village in Sentifyang and battalion headquarters in Lunglei on Saturday.

A total of 372 soldiers and 62 local residents from Lunglei, Tuipang and Sentifyang villages attended the lecture, which was aimed at creating awareness about suicide prevention. The aim was to promote self-empowerment so that self-harm and suicide could be addressed.

These can be achieved through capacity building of health care providers, positive and informative messaging targeting at-risk groups such as the general public and youth, and facilitating open discussions on mental health in homes, schools, and workplaces.

This awareness program also discusses ways to deal with suicidal tendencies as and when they arise in anyone’s mind. There was an attempt to spread the message that “life is the solution, not suicide.”

The villagers applauded the Assam Rifles for addressing such a sensitive issue that is very prevalent in today’s society. The locals expressed their gratitude to others for their resolve to spread more awareness on this sensitive and less talked about issue.
