New Delhi: Delhi needs night shelters more than a better "night life", Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal said in New Delhi today.
"Night shelters in the city are extremely unsafe for women. Delhi needs better night shelters, not a 'night life'," Ms Maliwal told reporters after her random visits to three night shelters in the national capital.
Ms Maliwal, along with DCW member Sarika Chaudhary and two volunteers, visited three night shelters run by Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) in Nizamuddin and Jama Masjid areas late Saturday.
"The toilets are very few and no separate toilets for women were there. Male and female night shelters are adjacent to each other in the same complex, with no security restrictions," Ms Maliwal said.
