Woman’s Suicide Bid Highlights Encroachment Menace
A 40-year-old woman, Sandeep Kaur, attempted suicide at the District Administrative Complex on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Her desperate act highlights the alleged inaction of officials regarding rampant encroachment complaints.
Kaur, a resident of a nearby village, had repeatedly reported harassment and property damage caused by illegal construction near a village pond. She claimed the construction led to water damage to her home.
Her brother alleges that Kaur faced threats after persistently reporting the matter to the authorities. He accuses officials of negligence and a lack of response to her pleas.
The incident underscores the growing frustration among citizens facing encroachment issues. The lack of timely intervention by authorities often leaves them with no recourse but to take drastic measures. This tragic event demands a thorough investigation and systemic reforms to address encroachment and ensure citizen safety. The incident raises serious questions about the effectiveness of grievance redressal mechanisms in the district.
