The First Lady directed to further improve the accommodation and food arrangements in the shelter and announced that funds would be provided for the repairs on priority basis.
She said the government provided shelter to those without a roof over their head, which was their right. It is the government’s responsibility to take care of the people living in the shelters, she added.
People staying at the shelter told the first lady that they have been given a home-like atmosphere and that building shelters was an exemplary step by the government which enabled them to spend the night in peace instead of sleeping on sidewalks.
