Nampally: The additional CP of She Teams, Shika Goel said that youth have been resorting to suicides unable to face petty problems in their lives. She was speaking at a programme held on the occasion of World Suicide Prevention Day organised by NGO Roshni at Hyderabad Public Gardens on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, Shika Goel advised youth to face issues challengingly instead of committing suicides as it can never provide solution to issues. By committing suicides, they are causing immense sorrow to their parents and families, she said. To realise goals, one has to face hurdles and issues and resolve them with courage, she advised.
