On suicide cases during the Covid pandemic, the chief minister said, "One has to take wins, losses, happiness and unhappiness the right way. There are many reasons due which one commits suicide. Such incidents take place when one undergoes depression. But we have to overcome it and provide moral support to such people at all stages."
On October 2, a woman committed suicide with her two children after her husband succumbed to Covid-19.
