Supreme Court Seeks Details Of Shelter Homes For Urban Poor From States/UTs Ahead Amid Winter Season

In a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), the Supreme Court directed states and Union Territories to provide data on the number of shelters available for the homeless. The case stemmed from concerns about the growing number of homeless individuals across the country, especially during harsh weather conditions. The Court asked the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) to share information on existing shelters and the plans to meet any deficits. The ruling aims to address homelessness more effectively, ensuring that adequate shelters are available for those in need.
