CRPF jawans have lit up over 50 households in two villages of Jharkhand's Latehar district with LED bulbs. The two villages, Karamdih and Khamikhas, is situated on the foothills of Maoist-hit Burapahar area, CRPF Second-in-Commandant, Ravi Ranjan, said yesterday. As there is no electricity in the villages, the jawans installed the LED lights in 53 households with the help of a generator, he said.
