Night Shelters In North India

Several parts of North India including Delhi and the adjoining National Capital Region were engulfed in dense fog as temperatures continue to plummet today. The northern states were reeling under a piercing cold wave with many places in Jammu and Kashmir recording sub-zero temperatures.

As night temperatures dip to new lows across North India, Delhi's homeless are once again left to fend for themselves. The government's efforts to beautify flyovers in Delhi have further deprived many of the little shelter that they did get.

Days after more than 40 girls were shifted by the police from an ashram in north Delhi's Rohini to a shelter home, five more minor girls have been rescued during raids at the same institution's Dwarka ashram. The girls were kept in "prison-like" confinement by the absconding 'baba', the team discovered.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has geared up to provide night shelters to the patients and their relatives who fail to get a bed and have to camp outside the premiere institution.
