were also put to rest.

Programmes were not organized hitherto.

also been covered.

A camp has been organized with the help of Ex.PLV at GP Fatehwal,

Development Block Una, for which our team had to reach the place by

wading through the waters of a rivulet due to rains in the morning. Even the

Motorcycle which was used for reaching the place imbalanced and the PLV

as also her husband were drenched in water. However, online camp could be
