Human chain
formed
Members of the public, students and teachers of the Panchayat Union Primary School in Kirambur near Thuraiyur launched a human chain stir demanding construction of individual toilets at the residences to check the foul smell caused by open defecation in and around the school zone.
Madhavan, headmaster, said that a garden would be developed on the street adjoining the school, which was presently used for open defecation.
M. Subburaman, Director of Scope, a non-governmental organisation, spoke on the hazards of open defecation.
