Cleaning up their act: College students clearing garbage on the premises of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital in Tiruchi. M. Moorthy
Students of a private college in the city took to cleaning the premises of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital on Saturday following a Madras High Court directive.
Twenty-eight students were ordered to clean the hospital premises as a corrective measure after they were arrested in connection with a case of campus violence involving beer bottles and wooden logs on July 28, 2019. At least five students sustained injuries in the incident. The order was issued by Justice A.D. Jagadish Chandira of the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court after the students submitted a plea to quash the FIR registered against them.
K. Vanitha, dean, MGMGH, said the students, belonging to Oxford Engineering College, had undergone an hour of counselling at the Department of Psychiatry before undertaking the cleaning work.
“They have understood their mistakes and have shown regret. To show them the uncertainty of life, I also took them to meet some patients of road accidents admitted to the ICU,” she said.
The students began cleaning the campus of dried leaves and garbage and will also clean the general ward later in the day, Dr. Vanitha said.
“They have also shown interest in donating blood. We will make arrangements to do that at the blood bank in the evening,” she said.
