The Haryana Government is setting up night shelters in all districts of the state to facilitate urban homeless persons. Such shelters have either already been constructed or are under construction. The night shelters are being constructed on the directions of the Supreme Court to arrange food and night stay and other facilities for urban homeless persons. The apex court had asked the state to set up at least one permanent shelter, which would be open 24 x 7, for each one lakh population in each city. In Hansi, Yamunanagar, Jagadhri and Sirsa, either these shelters have been constructed or are under construction whereas in Faridabad, Rewari and Sonepat, the process to set up such shelters has been initiated, which includes identification of land, site, preparation of estimates and construction work. In Sirsa, homeless people will get this facility by December this year as the night shelter costing Rs 14.20 lakh is nearing completion adjacent to Jeevan Singh Jain Park. The homeless could contact Kasturba Gandhi Vridhashram or Apahij Ashram near old Prabhat Cinema or office of the District Red Cross Society, Sirsa, to avail of the facility of night shelter. SDM Roshan Lal has been made overall in charge of the scheme and the District Red Cross Society has been made the nodal agency.
