In this special ground report, the focus is on the harsh reality faced by homeless people in the national capital as winter sets in. As temperatures dip and air quality worsens, thousands are left without roofs, battling the cold on pavements and under flyovers. While the government and NGOs have set up night shelters, many remain overcrowded or inaccessible. The report highlights the plight of those waiting outside hospitals like AIIMS, where patients and their families endure freezing nights in the open. Voices from the streets reveal the struggle for survival amidst the festive season.
