The Madras High Court recently held that sanitary napkins should be made available near toilets in National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) exam centres, so that any unprepared girl candidate may use them.
The Court allowed the lawyer to sit on an indefinite fast at the Rajarathinam Stadium in Egmore, on the condition that there would be no law and order problems or instances of violence due to such fast.
Santhan, a Sri Lankan national, was released in November 2022 following an order of the Supreme Court but has stayed on in a detention camp in Tamil Nadu since he does not have a valid passport.
