Mr Yadav added a night screening team goes around the town to spot the homeless; they are then picked up and brought under the care of a shelter home.
The Uttarpara-Kotrung Municipality takes care of the overall functioning of the shelter home. The entire funding is done by the state urban development agency (SUDA). The social welfare organization Astha takes care of food and other necessities of the inmates.
Regular medical check-up and treatment is also provided to the inmates. It is an effort to provide a homely life to our brothers and sisters on the streets without food and proper clothes, said Dilip Yadav.
