After the event, Rotarian Abhishek said, “The basic idea behind the event was to promote inter-dependence of the various residential societies of north Bengal during and post-COVID-19. This was the first time such an event was held in north Bengal where more than 25 Residential Welfare Societies came together on a virtual platform to share their best Covid combat strategies. We tried to create a platform where all the residential societies can come and work together.”
According to the project chairman, some 48 people participated in the event, out of whom around 12 were club members and the rest were from different societies.
Club Town, Metro Heights, Green View, Green Valley, HIG Uttarayon, Model Town, Space Town were among the residential complexes.
