Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma visited the winter shelter homes built near Gandhinagar Railway Station
Jaipur: On Thursday evening, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma paid a visit to the winter shelter houses located close to Gandhinagar Railway Station in order to assess the situation. His travels coincide with Jaipur’s nighttime temperature of 11 degrees Celsius as the winter months become harsher.
The Chief Minister was seen delivering blankets to the homeless and chatting with them.
“Good arrangements” are made in the night shelter residences, according to Bhajanlal Sharma.
“I’ve told you all that nobody should have to deal with any difficulties. We are all assisting via the ‘Chief Minister Sadbhavna Kendra’ as well. Our town has made excellent provisions and constructed night shelter dwellings. After assessing the conditions in the night shelters, Sharma assured reporters that nobody should have to deal with any issues.
As the chilly winter weather continues to dominate with the beginning of the New Year 2025, a dense layer of fog has engulfed the nation’s capital and moved over a number of other major cities.
The India Meteorological Department reports that on Thursday, visibility at Delhi’s airports was 0 meters. As a thick layer of fog continued to affect key areas of the nation, similar circumstances were observed in Gwalior, Agra, Amritsar, and Pathankot.
Along with patches of fog across coastal Andhra Pradesh on Thursday, the IMD also recorded the presence of fog and low clouds throughout northwest, central, east, and northeast India.
The IMD predicted that Thursday will see a low temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a high temperature of 17 degrees Celsius in Delhi.
Furthermore, according to statistics from the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), the national capital’s air quality index at 8 a.m. today was 278 and was classified as “poor.”
A score of zero to fifty is regarded as “good,” 51 to 100 as “satisfactory,” 101 to 200 as “moderate,” 201 to 300 as “poor,” 301 to 400 as “very poor,” and 401 to 500 as “severe.”
As temperatures continue to plummet after the New Year, some areas in North India are still feeling the effects of the winter cold.
Additionally, 235 pagoda tents have been erected by the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) to house the homeless. AIIMS, Lodhi Road, and the Nizamuddin flyover are among the locations in the national capital where night shelters have been erected.
