At the function, Sandeep Mehta, managing trustee of RCCF, said, “The foundation provides various services since 1994 in Tamil Nadu. In order to enhance the service, we planned to distribute about 2 lakh refurbished old clothes to construction workers.”
The new clothes were distributed by Coimbatore Corporation Commissioner K Vijayakarthikeyan and Inspector General of Police, West Zone, K. Shankar.
