continuing legal and political challenges. Further complicating matters, the Delhi High Court has requested a plan for night shelters, due by March, to prepare for the upcoming summer months.

Such projects exemplify Delhi's plans to modernize its facilities while addressing environmental issues.
Education and Justice Matters
