New Delhi: In an effort to prevent death of any homeless person due to sleeping in open during Delhi's chilly winters, the government has arranged night shelters and tents to accommodate at least 19,000 people.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said, "a few days ago a meeting of all departments was held in this regard and it was emphasised that no person dies because of sleeping in the open in cold nights. We all need to endeavour so that no one dies while sleeping in the open during winter."
