Nepal Army has started providing firewood and tea at Jaleshwor at a time when district dwellers are facing acute cold for the last five days.
Locals said that the First Rifle Battalion of the NA at the district headquarters has lit the fire at four places of Jaleshwor Tuesday morning as well as distributed tea.
Battalion Chief Major Krishna Khadka Chhetri said that the NA lit fire at Durga Chowk, Shankar Chowk, Buddhijibi Chowk and Khaira Chowk, and distributed tea to the locals Tuesday morning.
With the NA's move, especially beggars and those lacking warm clothes have been benefitted.
