Remove Ad Only Read News Whether the building of Nawada railway station is new or old. In the cold winter nights, they sleep against the walls of the building, wrapped in worn mats (a mattress made of clothes), blankets or old banners. Drivers, medical technicians and supervisors of ambulance vehicles set up shelter in the shelter for the needy constructed in the Sadar Hospital premises. Although they are not homeless, their home is made in shelters for the needy. Their beds are kept on the second floor of the building. In such a situation, the target group set by the government does not get the benefits. There is no monitoring of the shelter for the needy, in the absence of this only the resourceful people are illegally benefiting from this government scheme. The situation is such that even the family members of the patients admitted in the wards of Sadar Hospital cannot come here. So they can have a place to hide their heads at night. Due to lack of information, it appears that the shelter for the needy has deviated from its goal. Even the State Level Shelter Monitoring Committee does not take care of the Supreme Court in a major case WP(C) 55/2003 ER In view of Kumar and others v. Union of India, a State Level Shelter Monitoring Committee has been constituted to monitor the functioning of the shelter for the destitute, which monitors it from time to time. Despite this, the government scheme fails to benefit the targeted section. Eight to nine people stay in this shelter every day, but they are not destitute. Rather, ambulance drivers are drivers, EMTs, and other skilled people. Sometimes, even if a needy reaches a shelter, he does not turn here the next time. Due to lack of departmental monitoring, people other than the target group remain in the shelter. The shelter is managed by the Department of Urban Development and Housing. Under the central government’s Deen Dayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihood Mission (DAU-NULM), shelters for the needy have been constructed in every district of the state. A three-storey shelter for the needy has been constructed in the Sadar Hospital Complex in the Nawada Municipal Council area at a cost of around Rs 49 lakh. Here earlier arrangements were made for accommodation for about 50 people, along with food was also provided by paying a fixed fee. After people got the information, people started staying here, meanwhile, the Covid-19 infection period started and due to lack of resources, this building was used as a Covid-19 care ward. Since then, his condition has gone from bad to worse.
