As part of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness about mental health, the Delhi Metro authorities on Tuesday have installed a hoarding at the metro museum to encourage people to brave through psychologically difficult periods instead of giving up on life. The hoarding was installed on the World Suicide Prevention Day which seeks to bring awareness on the issue in order to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides.
