"During the summer, the shelters are so crowded, and the air inside is suffocating. I sleep better on my rickshaw, even though it’s not the safest option." As Delhi grapples with extreme summer heat, the city’s shelter homes are becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the rising number of homeless individuals seeking refuge. Migrants flocking to the national capital in search of work often end up living on its streets—under flyovers, on pavements or in makeshift shelters—without a real roof over their heads. Delhi’s shelter homes, run by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) and various NGOs, are meant to offer respite to the homeless. However, with the growing crisis of urban migration and inadequate housing, these shelters are under strain, struggling to accommodate an increasing number of residents, especially during the peak summer heat. https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2025/Jun/16/delhis-homeless-struggle-to-find-space-for-survival-in-overcrowded-shelters?utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=channel&utm_campaign=nation
