225 years later, Haryana village celebrates its ‘birthday’

The villagers invited Subhash Barala, state BJP chief and an MLA, as chief guest for the function. “It’s for the first time in my life that I am attending Janmotsav of a village,” said the 50 year-old leader. “The then elders had set up the village under the inspiration of the then Maharani of the Patiala riyasat. Earlier, there were lot of ponds and people used to come with cattle for grazing purposes. That’s why the village was named as Dangra,” said Barala. ens
