In a classic symbolic gesture, depicting the role of a teacher who makes sacrifices for the well-being of students, these girls of Reggie Ranatunga College, Minuwangoda are seen taking shelter from the scorching sun by standing under the loose end of their teacher's saree. This was captured during the new year celebrations held at the school premises yesterday, amidst Met Department warnings of excessive heat conditions prevailing these days. Pix by Pradeep Pathirana
