Shelters And Solace For The Homeless In Delhi's Winter Chill

At 14.4 degrees Celsius, Delhi recorded the season's lowest day temperature on Wednesday.

 

Winter arrived late this time but now that it is here, it is likely to stay longer, the Met Department has predicted, making life difficult for those who live out in the open. 

 

Shelter is a matter of survival during Delhi's extreme cold. According to the Centre for Holistic Development, an NGO, five bodies of homeless people were found on January 19 from Connaught place, CR Park, Civil Lines, Kashmiri Gate and Chandni Chowk areas. The next day, two more were recovered from Yamuna Bazaar and Yamuna Pushta neighbourhood.
