Neigbours are important for everybody, for an individual, for a village, for a town, for a State and for a nation, said Universal Neighbourhood Day founder, Supreme Court lawyer and rights activist Radhakanta Tripathy while celebrating the day for the third consecutive year on Monday.
The day was celebrated with a message of spreading universal humanity at Nuasahi in Korkora GP in Bhadrak district in which more than 150 villagers and volunteers participated.
This year, the celebration brought hope among the landless poor SC, ST villagers of Nua Sahi for availing social justice for them. The justice may be either in the form of land rights, house, toilet and other basic human rights of the villagers.
