Maharastra: In an unfortunate incident, a 24-year-old young doctor of the Solapur government Civil Hospital has allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in his room. Although the reason for his suicide is still unclear, he is reported to have committed suicide due to work stress.

The growing number of COVID patients in the state is putting a strain on the health system and it has increased the stress on doctors as well. The hospital administration is shocked by the incident.
