Sh. Rao Narbir Singh said that night shelters are currently operational at various locations in Gurugram. He further directed the district administration to set up temporary night shelters at crowded places as needed.

To address this, all necessary arrangements, including night shelters and blanket distribution, have been made. He said that a sufficient number of night shelters have been established by the state government in every district, and charitable organizations have also stepped forward to help.
He added that it is everyone’s responsibility to stand with those in need during their distress. Sh.

In this situation, we must encourage people to take cautionary and preventive measures for their health.
