Locals have said that after this charity work, which was announced on 4th of June, it is very easy and safe to walk at night.

According to Purna Bahadur Bishwakarma, the president of Kotrawang Toll Reform Organization, after the lighting in the slum, people can now move around safely at night, and the fear of wild animals such as leopards has also decreased.
