Thiruvananthapuram | Thursday | 18th July, 2019

Summary:

A year ago, in another case of suicide, a body was discovered among the bushes on campus after a bad odour alerted the students. "We have heard the campus was a host to several fruit trees years ago. We plan to beautify the campus and are currently planting fruit trees for the purpose. We have sought permission from Social Forestry Wing to replace acacia trees and thorny bushes," said Sabu Joseph, department head, Environmental Sciences. "We transformed the surroundings into a mini park with fruit trees, plants and pavements where students can relax around the pond," said Sabu..
