Hi friends I’m sure that this news will make u to think about our society. Have u ever heard a village without cigarette, paan and liquor? Hei don’t search such a village in any European countries. Its in our country and for our surprise that village is in Tamilnadu. And the name of the village is Pudhupatti. Its situated near Madurai. In this village there is a strict restriction for cigar, paan and liquor, For ever 100 yrs. Do you believe this. But it’s a concrete truth.This is the only village without tasmac in our state. More over there is also ban to smoke in public and to put waste in streets. Its also followed by all the village people without any objection. Moreover eve teasing is also punishable offense. When we contacted the councilor mrs.Azhagupillai she told, our village culture is totally opposite to other villages. Because here women are given equal rights as that of men. She also adds that women can walk instreets without any fear even in midnights. One more interesting news is youngsters in the village don’t smoke or drink.They fully concentrate on their studies and sports. But one more sad thing is now a days some ppl go to the near by village and have started to drink and smoke. But this is minor minor set back for this village. This was told by ms.Ramyawho have got her doctorate. When we saw some women from this village they told that we are happy and we have extra savings as our husband are not smoking or drinking. Really we can see a calmness in their face. As we are all protesting againstsmoking. And our government has imposed ban and fine for smoking in public places. But no one minds that. To the max extend a day against smoking. But this village is carrying out a silent revolution for past 100 yrs, Without any ban or fine. Really we have to salute this village, for their extra ordinary co operation. As we are telling this globe as a village. Lets hope this village’s phenomenon will reach the whole globe one day.
