Summary:
S Bachan Jeet Singh ByExpress News ServiceHYDERABAD: Another 1,502 persons were found homeless in Greater Hyderabad limits as per the enumeration carried out by the Urban Community Development wing of the GHMC. The civic department carried out a rapid one-night enumeration of homeless people a few days ago covering all 30 GHMC circles by constituting special teams who visited bus stations, railway stations, religious places, and identified about 1,502 persons homeless. Many homeless persons do not have access to the shelters, as there is either not enough space or no night shelters in the area. Out of the sanctioned 20 shelters in GHMC limits, only 14 are functioning, and for a city like Hyderabad, 14-night shelters are not enough. If migrants from other districts are also counted, the number of homeless will be far more than 4,500 to 5,000..
