Members of the Pratishtha Foundation, a voluntary organisation under its ‘Thand v/s Humanity’ project, distributed warm clothes among poor people in slum areas of Subhash Nagar and Clement Town here on Friday.

Muzakkir, a member of the organisation, said the next distribution drive would be held soon and they had started surveying different places.

Office-bearers of the organisation, president Deepak Kothiyal, vice-president Pranjal Sharma, secretary Deep Prakash Pant and treasurer Chandra Shekhar along with Vivek Rana, Yeshwant Bhatt, Vaishali Gurung, Megha Malla, Aman Bhatt, Umang Garg, Deepshi Garg, Muzakkir, Shweta Singh, Sandeep Rawat, Aditi Garg, Divyanshu, Pranjali Negi and Kritika Gupta were present.
