Early Times Report
Udhampur Jan 7: To provide solace to the needy segment of the society during ongoing winter, Senior Citizens’ Club Udhampur (SCCU) inaugurated its free ‘Warm Clothing Distribution’ programme today and distributed warm clothing to about 150 persons on need base at ‘Sailan Talab Chowk’ Udhampur.
The clothes were donated by the members of the SCCU. On the occasion, president of the Club Mahadeep Singh Jamwal said that urbanites are better placed financially than people from rural area and they have craze for the trendy wearing and they use the wearing as per their liking than their needs.

The SCCU have created a bank for collection of such clothes. Jamwal appealed to the society to deposit all sort of wearing especially warm clothes in SCCU clothing bank located at ‘Shiv Nagar’ Udhampur so that their clothing should reach to the needy segment of society.
