In his letter to Jung, Delhi BJP leader Satish Upadhyay said, "During the tenure of Congress and AAP governments and after that the bureaucrats, the condition of night shelters became bad to worse."
He demanded that the officials concerned be directed to improve the condition of such shelters.
"There should be arrangement for tea and snacks in the evening and morning, drinking water, blankets, beds, toilets, sanitation in the night shelters.
