In far corner of Kerala, a 17-year-old student, Shahal, went on an indefinite hunger strike on August 17 to get basic amenities for his school, reported Mathrubhumi.com. And he succeeded - within just three days.
Students at the Government Higher Secondary School in Malappuram district's Ponmundam had been asking for basic facilities like toilets, laboratories, and even proper staff and teachers for the school for a long time. But so far, the authorities had turned a deaf ear to their pleas. The teachers had to pitch in with money from their own pocket to keep things running.
The work will start after Onam - the state's big harvest festival, which begins on August 27.
