80 women of UP’s Katri, where dacoits once roamed, get training to make LED bulbs

Eighty women from Shahjahanpur's Katri area, once known for harbouring dreaded dacoits who committed bone-chilling crimes, are now being trained on how to assemble LED bulbs and decorative lights, whose quality is as good as the ones available in the market. Competitively priced, these lights are in high demand, especially during festivals. Shahjahanpur district magistrate (DM) Indra Vikram Singh, who had spent some time with these women workers recently, also placed an order for 1,000 LED bulbs to encourage them.
