Have any one here noticed the print advertisement of Kerala Womens' commission recently published in Malayalam newspapers? If I remember correctly it appeared on last Saturday. I saw it in Malayala Manorama. The main title is "Agola Valakkarauthinte Chathikuzhikul"............
The image and text in the fist box item of the ad is to be noticed.
