The Northern Provincial Council's health minister stated the number of people committing suicide has been increasing, blaming it on the psychological impact left from disappearances and murders across the North-East.
Health minister Sathiyalingam noted that almost everyone in the North-East has been affected, stating that at least one person from each house in the North-East has been arrested, disappeared or murdered. With many of these acts taking place in front of relatives, a large number of people have suffered psychologically and have gone on to commit suicide, added Sathiyalingam.
The minister went on to add that psychological health services should be offered to the victims.
