‘Ehsaas’ to open 17 new shelter homes

The federal government has evolved a plan to set up shelters in 17 more districts before August 14.

The Ehsaas shelters will be set up in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Balochistan, Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Besides, during this period, four mobile shelters will also be set up in four districts of Balochistan, which would visit different areas to feed poor and underprivileged people. However, these shelters would not have staying facilities.

The shelters will have 24/7 camera surveillance, with power back-up, fully functioning shared bathrooms and self-service meals in dining halls.

At present, there are 17 shelters facilitating people in 17 districts across the country.
