Oh no! 4 siblings in Surajkund, Faridabad die of abject poverty. All of them hang themselves. Few of them have not eaten for the last 72 hours. Their brother and parents had died earlier.

They had the inflated electricity bill of Rupees 25 thousands roughly and were not able to pay the house rent of 10000 per month, except rupees 7000 only and that too after great efforts as none of the family member was employed.

The entire family was completely dejected and was in grave economic crisis. This is the worst disastrous situation any family could ever confront suffering from abject poverty and finally constrained to commit suicide by hanging. So tortuous mentally, psychologically and from humane angle.

Where were the neighbours? Where were the so called government agencies and the NGOs and even the social welfare department of the government of Haryana.

Sounds totally irrational, shocking, anguishing and brutal that a christian family living in a residential colony went un noticed by the concerned department of the government and the neighbours and various social organisations that boast so much of taking due care of the have nots, the poor and the hapless.

The church has come to the rescue of the family, finally after the four siblings committed suicide but never thought of their welfare and well being when they were actually passing through the real upheavals and trauma of life.

The honest and transparent family never thought of seeking the government’s relief and the support of the social organisations but was it not the due vigilance and the sole responsibility of the government, the police, the neighbours and their near and dear ones’s to look after their interest, welfare and well being before they were constrained to take such a drastic step of commiting a cumulative suicide just because they were unable to pay the rent and the 25 thousand inflated bill of the electricity department of Haryana n the rent of the house they lived in.

Our governments talk so much of housing for all, Ayushman Bharat insurance scheme, guaranting free treatment for all, various schemes of free food for all, housing for all etc but can’t guarantee the economic, food and social security to such families who die of hunger, economic disparity and emotional trauma in the broad day light committing suicides through hanging just because the government of the state could not provide meals, jobs, and requisite necessities to the actuallly deserving families, particularly of the downtroddens and the minorities like Christians.

Mr. Khatter the chief minister of Haryana, you will have to answer this question in all earnestness and with total integrity. How long will families in acute financial distress die in your state? This is the moot question. The nation needs an answer from you? Whats your take friends?
