In the past year, there have been tragic incidents of suicide by a psychiatric patient, and by a COVID positive patient. Since then, the security services personnel have become more sensitive and alert to these aspects of security work. An example of this was seen recently when a security guard of the institute Pawan Kushwaha saved the life of a lady patient from jumping off the ledge of a high floor with his courage, presence of mind, and timely action.
