CM K Palaniswami honours Muruganantham

Coimbatore: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Thursday honoured city-based Arunachalam Muruganantham on whose work the Oscar-winning best documentary short 'Period. End of Sentence' is based.

Muruganantham, who started making low-cost pads in his village despite being ostracised some years ago, recently said the award would help create more awareness on menstruation.

Palaniswami, who arrived at the airport here on his way to Tirupur and Erode, met Muruganantham, who was present there, and adorned him with a shawl.

He also handed over a greeting card to Muruganantham, as part of honouring the city-based Padman.
