Overview
- The rollout will place 250 temporary facilities across 120 locations alongside the existing network of 197 DUSIB shelters.
- The new sites can host about 2,500 people with capacity expandable if demand rises during peak winter nights.
- A central control room will direct rescue teams, with GPS-enabled vans transporting people to shelters nightly from 10 pm to 4 am.
- DUSIB is deploying the Rain Basera app for citizen reporting and the Night Shelter Inspection App for GPS-based oversight with real-time data.
- Operations will follow stricter standards with Aadhaar-based biometric attendance, quality-and-cost agency selection, Anganwadi links for women and children, and supervision by the Supreme Court Monitoring Committee, JAAC, and DUSIB.
