As temperatures soar in Nagpur, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has ramped up its efforts to protect the homeless population from heat-related health risks. The initiative has successfully provided safe shelter to 466 homeless individuals and rehabilitated 159 of them. Implemented by the NMC's Social Development Department, the program aims to prevent heatstroke casualties among those living on the streets. Over the past two months, a joint rescue team has successfully shifted 196 homeless citizens from public spaces into shelter homes, with 120 rescued in April and 76 in May. These shelters offer essential support services, including healthcare, food, counselling, and rehabilitation assistance. Recent rescue operations in areas like Cotton Market and Sitabuldi have seen 52 individuals, including men, women, and children, receive immediate care. The shelters, operating under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission, currently accommodate more individuals than their combined capacity of 450. NMC officials report positive outcomes, with 79 people reunited with families and 15 individuals finding employment.
