A group of women stage hunger strike by installing solar panels and batteries for power
The high cost of petrol has forced a group of women staging an indefinite hunger strike in front of the District Collectorate here to install solar panels for power.
The Collectorate premises have witnessed hundreds of agitations before; but it is the first time that a group of women are staging a hunger strike by installing solar panels and batteries for power.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
