A fair and lovely one appointed to a prominent school in the upcountry thanks to the weight of a leading politico has been collecting monies from the girl students to make a gold chain of a length equal in measurement to her height, they say.

She has planned to use this gold chain as an offering to a much venerated sacred shrine to mark the upcoming anniversary celebration of the school.  Meanwhile, she has got a gold chain made for herself as well with the funds collected. 

The money collecting for making the gold chain is known to the education authorities at all levels in the province, but they all play deaf and blind to it for they fear of incurring the displeasure of the powerful politico, they say.
