Jain conducts surprise inspection at city night-shelters

Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain tonight conducted a surprise inspection of night-shelters in the city, officials said.

He first visited a shelter in the vicinity of AIIMS and then went to Dandi Park shelter at Yamuna Nazar in Kashmere Gate, they said.

He interacted with shelter-seekers there and asked about the problems they faced.

"Are you all fine? Do not go outside in cold, spend time here," he told a resident, who had sought shelter, along with his relatives.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Jain have in the past several months conducted surprise checks at various city-run hospitals, including Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, to take stock of the healthcare situation.
