Department of forest department on Thursday distributed free solar lamps to Villagers of Tsuthu under Kiphire range.

They also acknowledged the kind gesture of Yatendra Agrawal, founder of Mumbai based NGO, Eco-Solutions, who had taken cognizance of the plight of poor and un-electrified villagers and prayed that the almighty God bless him abundantly.
