Ranchi, Mar 10 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday virtually inaugurated Light House Project (LHP) in Ranchi’s Dhurwa area.

At a programme in Ranchi, 10 beneficiaries were handed over keys of houses as token distribution, director of Directorate of Municipal Administration Aditya Kumar Anand said.

He said that all beneficiaries of the dwelling units would be provided houses in a phased manner by April.
