How are the police preventing suicides in Nepal?

Balkot (name changed), 30, of Bhaktapur went contactless on February 11. Before leaving home, he told his family that he was going to Chitwan. His family tried to phone him, but they could not reach him. His phone was off.

This was not the first time that he turned his phone off. So his family did not suspect anything bad. However, a phone call to one of his family members at 10 pm shook everyone. His friend from the other end told, “Balkot is frequently talking about suicide.”
