An elderly man attempted self-immolation by pouring petrol on himself during a joint grievance hearing at the Jajpur District Collector's office. The man, a resident of Dashrathpur block, was reportedly distressed over a long-standing land dispute and felt ignored by local authorities despite repeated complaints. Police and administrative officials intervened before he could light himself on fire. The District Collector later heard his grievances and assured a resolution within seven days. https://sambad.in/state/old-man-commits-suicide-by-pouring-petrol-in-front-of-district-collector-11898144 #creator program
