To save job, uniformed man climbs tree in loin cloth

-

What lengths would people go to save their jobs when they become the eye of a political storm?

The uniformed man had paid visits to many a temple. However, a rather comical situation erupted in one place where the rituals he was asked to perform included climbing a kohomba tree. That, too, whilst wearing a red piece of cloth almost resembling an amudey or loin cloth.

Deviyaney or oh god said one onlooker. “If he falls, the job is gone,” he quipped in whispers.
