They Sat Down For Meal By Widow Who Wasn't Allowed To Cook For School | Read

For more than a week in Bihar's Gopalganj district, a woman was barred from cooking mid-day meals for students at a government school by local villagers, allegedly because she is a widow. Residents of the district's Kalyanpur village not only protested against the preparation of mid-day meals by her, they even forced the school to shut down since last Wednesday. However, on Friday, after intervention from district authorities, the woman was reinstated by the school and the villagers dropped their protest.
