Recent incidents in Lahore have highlighted the severe mental health crisis and financial distress faced by individuals in the region. According to Pakistan Today, on Friday, a 40-year-old woman named Allah Bakhshi attempted suicide along with her five children by climbing onto a mosque's minaret in the Raiwind area. The Dolphin Police successfully negotiated with her, leading to their safe rescue. The woman cited 'crushing financial difficulties' as the reason for her drastic action. Similarly, ARY News reported that a first-semester pharmacy student, Fatima, attempted to take her life by jumping from the fourth floor of her university building. This incident occurred at the same location where another student, Owais Sultan, had previously committed suicide due to academic pressures and financial strain. The university has since suspended operations indefinitely.
