Biswanath Somadder, CJ
On 7th December, 2021, we had requested the learned advocate for the State to intimate this Court as to how the health professionals' services, as noted in the said order, were being utilised.
Today, the learned advocate for the State has apprised this Court with regard to how the service of all those who have obtained diploma/certificate in Community Mental Health from NIMHANS - after enrolling in a 3 months online training programme - are being utilised.
We are satisfied with the measures that are being taken by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Sikkim, regarding prevention and control of suicides in Sikkim.
