A labourer, aged 45, struck with continued unemployment and poverty, set himself on fire on Labour Day. The incident occurred in Ward number four, as the labourer, Abdul Razzaque Ansari, sprayed petrol on his body and set himself on fire. Although critically burnt, Ansari was rescued by passers-by and shifted to the Civil Hospital. Ansari is the father of six daughters. He was employed in a sugar mill and had lost his job four months ago.
