A poor woman's suicide seldom makes news, unless, of course, it is
carried out in a police officer's office. An Anganwadi worker in
Baijnath could not think of such a desperate measure because she had
nobody in particular to blame, but just the system, and therefore
there was no one to cry foul when she knotted a rope to hang herself
with. She had been wronged. Someone had taken away her job – a job
paying just a couple of hundred rupees, but anyway her soul source of
livelihood.
