Girl made to sleep outside home over periods, dies in cyclone Gaja
A 12-year-old girl died in cyclone Gaja, which had hit Tamil Nadu last week, allegedly after she was sent to sleep in a barn behind her house as she was menstruating for the first time. The cyclone had uprooted a coconut tree that fell on the barn, leading to the girl's death. The cyclone has claimed around 45 lives.
