A village in Pothakudi in Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu lived in the darkness for over 35 days to save a bird's life and its family.
A sparrow had hatched its eggs on the village's main switchboard and the people of the village decided to carry its usual days without streetlights, in order to save the bird.
The generous idea of turning off the lights came from a 20-year-old student named A Karuppuraja.
