Noida. With cold wave conditions intensifying, the Gautam Buddh Nagar district administration has stepped up efforts to safeguard homeless and destitute people. District Magistrate Medha Rupam inspected night shelters set up at the community center in Delta-2 and near Pari Chowk in Greater Noida to review the arrangements in place.
During the inspection, the District Magistrate closely examined the availability of basic facilities for those staying in the shelters, including safe drinking water, warm bedding and blankets, cleanliness, proper lighting and functional toilet facilities. She directed officials to ensure that no homeless person faces inconvenience during the cold wave and that all essential amenities remain fully operational at all times.

Medha Rupam instructed concerned departments and staff to maintain regular monitoring of the night shelters and to ensure that people in need are promptly guided to these facilities. She also ordered increased night patrols across the city to identify individuals sleeping in the open and encourage them to move to the shelters for their safety.
Emphasising that protecting human life is the administration’s top priority during the winter season, the District Magistrate appealed to social organisations to work in coordination with the administration to reach out to as many vulnerable people as possible.
Officials and staff present during the inspection were directed to keep all arrangements in the night shelters well maintained until the cold wave subsides, with a clear warning that any negligence in this regard will not be tolerated.
