Sambalpur: Burla night shelter is Locked, Homeless people sleep on Verandah

The Sambalpur administration has opened night shelters for the homeless across the district in view of the severe winter. But a large lock was hung at a night shelter in Burla, run by the Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation, and just outside it, an 80-year-old woman was lying on the verandah of a shop in the cold winter. The shelter open all night is only for words, but there is no staff and the shelter is locked. Despite all this, the administration and our SMC authorities are silent.
