Sena distributes sewing machines to widows

The Yavatmal unit of Shiv Sena today distributed 600 sewing machines to widows of farmers who committed suicide, to mark the birth anniversary of its founder Balasaheb Thackeray.

The machines were distributed to these widows by Yuva Sena chief Aditya Thackeray.

Maharashtra Transport Minister Divakar Raote said that the farm widows would be given auto rickshaws and the driving licences so that they would be able to earn their livelihood.

MPs Bhavana Gawali, Anil Desai and other party leaders were present on the occasion.
