To combat winter chill, dist admn distributes tea, jackets to the needy

In an initiative aimed at combating the harsh impact of the winter season, Nawanshahr district administration, in association with Red Cross Society, took a forward step in mitigating the chilly effects of winter this year. Warm, branded, good quality winter jackets and sturdy sports shoes were distributed among the vulnerable members of the community in the district. As per information, 250 jackets and shoes were given to the needy.

The district administration officials identified people in various sub-divisions who needed support so that help could be extended.

DC Rajesh Dhiman said, “The humanitarian efforts are the most important part of our service as we can contribute a lot for such needy people. We look forward to help people with various initiatives as much as we can.”

On similar lines, the DC started a new initiative to provide warmth in chilly winters by organising “chai-langar” in front of the DC administration complex. Starting from 8 am till 12 noon, tea and biscuits will be provided to passers-by and people visiting the DC office.

The DC shared his feelings that a happy start to the day leads to positivity and raises hopes of people.
