The rescue teams did their best in such a difficult situation. Maybe metro stations should have better safety nets or barriers to prevent such incidents.

While the article is informative, I wish it had more details about mental health resources available in Delhi. Reporting on suicides needs to be handled carefully to prevent copycat incidents.

My prayers are with Vikram ji and his family. As a society, we need to create more support systems for people facing mental health challenges. No one should feel this hopeless 😢

The pressure of corporate jobs can be brutal. Companies should have better employee assistance programs. Hope he recovers and gets proper counseling.
