Flex distributed among cyclone victims
The renowned advertising agency WHEELS has decided to distribute free flex among cyclone victims that can provide shields from rain. “When it rains a lot, water starts dripping in the houses of the slum dwellers and their lives become difficult. Neither the poor can live in the house nor can they go out due to rain. At that time, they need a tarpaulin. Keeping this in mind, WHEELS will give flex for free to the poor, which is better than tarpaulin. WHEELS Advertising company is trying to fulfill its social responsibility by taking initiative to help the poor by giving flex free,” said an official. Flex is available for free at WHEELS’s office in Bistupur and Supercentre in Sakchi. One can contact 7209006960.
