As a biting cold wave grips the national capital, Delhi’s night shelters are offering more than just a place to sleep for the homeless, providing warm beds, blankets, regular meals and basic dignity at a time when survival on the streets becomes increasingly difficult.

For many residents, these shelters have brought a sense of relief and stability.

Mausam Kumari (45), a mother of a 12-year-old child, has been living in a shelter near AIIMS for over a month. “We are getting all essential facilities here. We get sanitary napkins, separate rooms and meals three times a day. What more would a poor homeless person need,” she said.

However, she pointed out that common washrooms sometimes become an issue due to heavy usage. “They get dirty easily because so many people use them,” she said.
