A tragic incident at the Harrison Malayalam estate in Palappilly has led to a strike by workers. A 41-year-old watcher named Manjusha reportedly died by suicide, found hanging from an electric tower. Her death has been linked to severe mental harassment she allegedly endured at the workplace.
According to a suicide note purportedly written by Manjusha, she ended her life due to unbearable mental distress caused by her superiors. The note explicitly names several officials at the estate, accusing them of continuous harassment and pressure. The situation reportedly escalated after Manjusha took a short, permitted break, leading to offensive messages from one official.
Despite her health issues, Manjusha was allegedly assigned field duty alone by the accused officials. The note details various forms of harassment she faced. In response to the incident, workers initiated a strike on Tuesday. Various organizations have organized protest marches to the company scheduled for Wednesday, calling for stringent action against the accused.
