Delhi government on Friday announced that it would be opening 100 new night shelters across the city over the next few days with a view to provide relief to the homeless from the biting cold.
Urban Development Minister Manish Sisodia: "At some places, the SDMs found more than 100 homeless in flocks... at some places, 30-40 people, while at many others, they found 15 to 20 people who were without shelter. Of these 212 locations, we have found that we need to provide shelters at 100 places. Some of the night shelters will be bigger, accommodating 100 to 300 people. Such shelters will be opened near hospitals, railway stations and bus terminuses."
