Solar power propels a protest in Malappuram

The solar panels set up by the protesting LP school teacher candidates in front of their shamiana on the Malappuram collectorate premises.

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.
