The CM discussed their living conditions and assessed the shelter’s facilities. While the shelter residents expressed satisfaction with the arrangements, they mentioned the need for food services.
Responding promptly, Dr. Yadav directed Collector Kaushalendra Vikram Singh to launch the ‘Ram-Roti’ initiative in all shelters, ensuring free food distribution. On hearing about Pratap Malviya’s struggles as a father of four daughters with no stable livelihood, Dr. Yadav instructed the Collector to provide every possible assistance to him.
