: Hundreds of saplings on the campus of Chikkanna Government Arts College in Tirupur were found burnt allegedly by some miscreants early Saturday, police said.

Noticing this, a faculty member-cum-NSS officer Mohan, who motivated the students to plant saplings to develop a Kalam Grove on the campus, was so shocked that he swooned, the police said.

It was late former President A P G Abdul Kalam who had initiated the green movement which had won appreciation of one and all.

A search has begun for the miscreants, they said.
