Odisha: Slum-dwellers celebrate Diwali with solar lights

The slum-dwellers of Behrampur, who have been deprived of electricity since cyclone Phailin hit Odisha about three weeks ago, are celebrating this year's Diwali with solar lights, thanks to 'Bernard van Leer Foundation'. This Netherland-based NGO, in association with a local organization, distributed relief kits to 5,500 slum-dwellers before Diwali. The kit contained a solar lantern, among other relief materials.
