But now this problem has been mitigated due to magnanimous voluntary sacrifices by family members of our beloved leader for sake of betterment of our Ziro Valley’, remarked Hari ZPM’s Tasso Tana and Hage Dollo while Hari Employees and Pensioners Welfare Association (HEPWA) president Tasso Butung said that the voluntary removal of these granary houses for public betterment ought to be emulated by other members of the valley for a safer and better Ziro.
