Workers are not able to gain employment and are suffering economically.Most of the workers staying at shelter homes don't have any documentation. Some are interstate migrant workers who don't have a Delhi-based Ration card. Therefore, the workers have little means to feed themselves and their children. The number of Covid-19 cases are increasing every day infecting people from all sections of society. Homeless people are particularly vulnerable to the Covid-19 virus due to their exposure and low immunity. In the shelter homes, people are reported to be sick however, the isolation centres which were running in 2020 have been closed, plea added.The petition also prays direction to set up camps at the shelter homes and vaccinate the homeless people with their consent on priority and to provide soaps, detergents, hand sanitisers, hand wash and masks to urban homeless in all shelter homes in Delhi with medical aid to them.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
