RAHIM YAR KHAN: A woman committed suicide along with her three children in Rahim Yar Khan on Saturday.

According to eye witnesses, a woman who looked poor from her appearance came with three children and sat on the railway line.

When she saw the Millet Express, which was enroute to Lahore from Karachi, approaching, she came in front of the train with her children.

Her daughter tried to run but she pulled her back. Two of her sons also died.

People present at the scene said the mother committed suicide due to poverty.

Shaukat | 14 years ago | Reply We are very sorry over the suicide incidents. But the problem is that we are very busy counting our daily cash, attending parties and standing for photo sessions, visiting pleasant countries, defending our fake degrees, controlling internet, facing Supreme Court, distributing precious difts among loyal friends, selecting from Paris stitched suits for the dinner tonight, and, oh, what not! On top of all that, here comes the news of mothers committing suicides with their children. We are very sorry indeed. But our hands are already full. Can't you see that? And what exactly can we do after all? Poverty is their fate and they have to die in that, if not by suicide then by disease or or hunger! Again sorry!

ghulam rasool | 14 years ago | Reply Yes. Right. Her mistqake. Why did she belong to a poor family? Why did she give birth to children if she had no money to feed the? And by the way, why don't all such poor people commit suicide at the same time together. One bad lunch and you will have no worries any more?

mussarat ahmedzeb swat | 14 years ago | Reply wakeup pakistanis its time to wake and contribute to our society.

abdul ghafoor | 14 years ago | Reply We are sorry on the suicide but we don't have time to address pverty and misery. We are very busy in counting our daily cash, controlling internet, defendin our fake degrees, sendin our children abroad for higher education, distributing gifts among loyal friends and deciding which precious dress would suit our stained bodies in the dinner tonight. But oh we are very sorry over these suicides which spoil our breakfasts. We wish we could do something about it. Poverty comes from fate. Sorry.
