Samlei Sena volunteers will distribute cylinders," informed MBM convenor Shreekant Chatterjee. "It is a very good initiative by MBM and JF. The (Covid) situation in Nuapada district is not bad, but such initiatives would be beneficial for people of rural areas and be an inspiration for others to start such efforts," said Jain.The inauguration function was conducted virtually via Zoom. Guests were present on behalf of donors and advisors of JF.
