THIS HUSBAND SLEEPS ON ROAD!

He was an elected representative of Gram Panchayath. His wife is a teacher. So what, they fail to strike an understanding. Unable to solve their fight, the husband slept sleeping on the road for three nights!

The incident is reported from Shanivarsanthe near Somwarpet. A teacher at Handli government school, Manjula left her husband G.B.Harish three months ago and began to live with her aunt along with their two kids.

Their children Prajwal, 7 and Sourabha, 4 are restricted to house with no schooling since three months. This has worried Harish who was once a gram Panchayath member at Nidtha GP. He requested his wife to return with kids. Since he received no response from her, Harish decided to live his house and stay on the road. Harish is big news now in town. He was a time pass bit for them. However he gave up dharna and went home today. It is yet to be found out whether his wife and children have returned .
