The Delhi High Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government over building of separate home shelters for women and children and asked it to reply on the same within four weeks.

The matter will be next heard on May 4.

The petitioner has alleged that 34,263 dead bodies were found on Delhi's streets between 2004 and 2015, adding the number could have been lesser if the shelter homes would have been established.

The petitioner has also claimed that 119 people died in January this year due to cold in Delhi.
