He met students of Government Higher Secondary School, Ayyarmalai; Government Secondary School, Kazhugur; and Government High School, Thogaimalai, on Saturday and briefed them on the various available remedies if they feel the need to seek help.
He told the students the importance of self-awareness and good and bad touch. If any student needed to report incidents of sexual harassment, they must inform Childline - 1098.
