Dear Shri Ram Gupta,
ReplyDeleteHeartiest congratulations to all of you for the wonderful job done and honour bestowed! You richly deserved it!! We wish that all RWAs do take such innovative and useful things, instead of bickering only on 'sadak, pani and bijli' which are also of course essential. RWAs could and should play a vital part in the field of socialising and build up inter-active session on various fronts to forge unity and build up friendship and strengthen feeling of fraternity!
Congrats once again and wish you many more such laurels in different fields/sphere of activities.
