Ranchi, Nov 30: Given the increasing cold, the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Ranchi, today ran a campaign for the poor and requested the people sleeping under the open sky to spend the night in the shelter home run by the municipal corporation.

Under the campaign run following the direction of JHALSA Executive Chairman Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad, DLSA Secretary Kamlesh Behra visited various areas of the city from 10.30 pm to 12.30 pm and inspected the shelter homes run by the corporation.

While inspecting the shelter home located at the Khadgarha bus stand, he found that the bathrooms were not clean. After this, he instructed the in-charge of the shelter home to get the bathrooms cleaned immediately and said that this campaign would continue in future too.

He told the in-charge of the shelter home to pay special attention to cleanliness.
