    7. Suicide is a largely preventable public health problem. There are several counselling services and helplines working across the country for this cause. Include these resources in your story/report. End of thread.

    1. Don’t promote suicide stories by placing them in the front pages of the newspaper or as a lead item for broadcast media. 2. Don’t give details about the method or location of any suicide death or attempt. (@abantika77 @PriyankaPulla @soutikBBC @patralekha2011) 2/n

    3. Suicide notes, text messages, social media posts, and emails of the deceased person and/or their family members should not be published. 4. Don’t speculate. Verify your facts from multiple sources when the reasons for a suicide death or attempt are not immediately clear. 3/n

    6. Don’t write of suicide deaths/attempts as horrific, unfortunate events. Open up your story by focusing on the celebrity’s life and their contribution to society. 5/n

    We deeply mourn the tragic death of Darshan Solanki, a young student at IIT-Bombay, who ended his life due to alleged caste-based discrimination. Dalit, Bahujan & Adivasi students routinely experience discrimination by upper-caste students & faculty. Educational Institutions ++
